about
This song is about a lonely Lighthouse Keeper that lives on Snake Island
lyrics
(Intro)
You think you've had it hard in the annals of society...
Look to the ocean from Sao Paolo and look at me...
Used to have it all, there with my family...Cause I keep the lighthouse on Snake Island....
(Verse one: Mad D.)
There's a place in the ocean where you don't wanna go...
It's called "Snake Island" so let everybody know...
You could eat a snake for dinner, it will fill your belly...
With venom so strong, turn your organs to jelly.
Just thinking 'bout it make me wanna lose my stool,
and if you wanna go there, you's a straight up fool.
It gets cold there at night, better pack a coat and mittens...
Oh wait a minute...You can't go...The place is OFF LIMITS!
But if you really wanna go and be a lighthouse keeper...
Over four million snakes, better open your peepers.
One bite is all it takes to do the "Snake Island Creeper"...
Keep shakin' that ass, with the Grim Reaper!
(chorus)
Zero, zero, one on the P.O. Box!
Naaah nah nah nah nah...
Snake Island!
Zero, zero, one on the P.O. Box!
Naaah nah nah nah nah...
(Second verse: Rich Neil)
Snakes jump out trees and they start flying...
Surviving by eating birds on the island...
Unless you go there just for a day,
and give them snakes some different prey.
Next thing you know, you regret this trip...
Fighting off snakes, straight from the hip.
A blip on the map, mass viper population...
No wonder plans fell through for a banana plantation!
(Chorus repeat)
(Guitar solo breakdown: Mad D.)
(Third verse: SB-1)
I don't even give a care about what people say...
I took the lighthouse job cause I gotta get paid!
I made a mistake...I knew right away, I say Whooaaa!!!
But I really needed money, so guess what? I had to stay...
My family got bit and didn't live to see the next day.
Ain't got much time kid, I gotta talk fast...
CAUSE A DUMB, DARN SNAKE DONE BIT ME IN THE FACE!!!
(Outro Chorus repeat)
