Thread Name: Songs & Rhymes That Mention Snakes
Subject: Songs & Rhymes That Mention Snakes
This is not a copy-cat thread. But I admit that this thread Lyr Req: Oscar Brown's 'Forbidden Fruit' got me my categorization jones going again.

For some time I've been thinking about the whats and whys and wherefores of children's rhymes & children's songs that I've read or heard that mention snakes. And I figure there's probably also a number of adult songs that mention snakes.

So if you wanna you can blame that other thread for prompting me to ask this question:

What children and/or adult songs & rhymes do you know that mention snakes?

****

Btw, in No way is this Snake thread an attempt to rip off that "Forbidden Fruit" thread. Though that thread contains examples and information about songs that mention snakes, in my opinion this thread's intent is broader.

Also, it seems to me that if people post songs about snakes on this thread, then because of this thread's title, folks seeking songs about snakes will be better able to find them here then on a thread that is named "Forbidden Fruit". Again, no disrespect to that title or to that thread...

****

Having said that, I'll start with some examples I've found and hope that you join in.
