You know they call my girl the Snake Charmer Here she comes rising with the yellow dawn You know I would do nothing to ever harm her I guess I've loved you for too long You know they call my girl the Worm Tamer She cracks lightning like a viper's tongue She leaves me every night and who can blame her? I guess that I've loved you for too long For too long For too long For too long You know, you know they call my girl the Serpent Wrangler Eating inchworms down by the bill-a-bong I spent all night trying to untangle her But I guess I've loved you for too long For too long For too long For too long You know they call my baby the Mambo Rider I cry storms of tears til the rising of the dawn And you know I'm only happy when I'm inside her I guess that I've just loved you for too long For too long For too long For too long For too long For too long Well my baby calls me the Loch Ness Monster Two great big humps and then I'm gone Actually I am the Abominable Snowman And I guess that I've loved you for too long
