Attacked by Snakes
The Aquabats Lyrics

Night falls and I'm taken by sleep
It is nighttime and I fall asleep.

Hot night air blows up balloons in my dreams
The hot air in the night inflates balloons in my dreams.

Ding-dong rings the bell
The doorbell rings.

Something's at the door
There is someone or something at the door.

So I put on my slippers
I wear my slippers to go to the door.

And I creep across the floor
I sneak across the floor to the door.

For the door from hence I heard
I heard the door from where I am.

Another ding dong
The doorbell rings again.

I peep through the door hole
I look through the peephole in the door.

But something's very wrong
There is something not right.

As on my porch
On my porch.

There are thousands of snakes
There are thousands of snakes on my porch.

Ready to strike
The snakes are poised to attack.

I feel queasy and
I feel nauseous and.

My knees start to shake
My knees are shaking.

My perilous fate
My dangerous fate.

I see no escape as serpents lay siege
I cannot see a way to escape as the snakes surround me.

To my country estate
To my rural property.

The Devil must have opened up hell's gates
It seems like the Devil has unleashed these snakes from hell.

and called up millions of snakes
The Devil has summoned millions of snakes.

To take me from this place
The snakes are here to take me away from my home.

Big ones Little ones
There are big and small snakes.

Fat ones Skinny ones
There are fat and skinny snakes.

Protect me from their venomous drug
Keep me safe from their poisonous venom.

That springs from the needles of fangs
The venom comes out from the needles of the snakes' fangs.

Attacked by Snakes
I am being attacked by snakes.

By Snakes
By many snakes.

So many snakes
There are so many snakes.

You could fill the grate lakes
There are enough snakes to fill the Great Lakes.

With snakes
With all these snakes.

Ha ha ha run
This line is to evoke laughter.

I try to hide
I try to find a hiding place.

But snake bites on my face testify
The snake bites on my face prove that I cannot hide.

By snakes so many snakes
By many, many snakes.

It would take a thousand crates
It would require many crates to contain them all.

To contain the snakes after me
To put the snakes away after they have attacked me.

I'd rather be burned at the stake
I would rather be put to death by burning than be attacked by snakes.

Welcome to my world
Welcome to my reality - it is full of snakes.

Or should I say this land of snakes
Perhaps, it would be more apt to call it a land of snakes.

Serpents lie and wait
The snakes lay and wait for me.

At every take my knees quake
Every time I encounter a new snake, my knees shake.

As my life these snakes invade
The snakes are invading my life.

Snake invaders show their fangs
The snakes show their fangs as they invade.

On the snake parade
This line is to evoke humor.

As my family prays and waits
My family hopes and waits for my safety.

I fight them off with
I use these items to fight the snakes off.

Shovels and rakes and bats and phones
I use shovels, rakes, bats, and phones to fight the snakes off.

But I just can't seem
Despite all my efforts, it does not seem like I can win.

To shake these bones
These bones, or the snakes, cannot seem to shake off.

That slither from the dark
The snakes come from the darkness.

To destroy my home
The snakes are here to destroy my home.

(chorus)
The chorus of the song repeats the title: Attacked by Snakes.

One snake, Two snake
There are one and two snakes.

Are there any more?
This line asks if there are more snakes.

There's two more
There are two more snakes at the door.

Knocking at my door...
The snakes are knocking at my door.
