DON’T PET THE PYTHON ©Ricki E. Bellos and Calvin Stewart His place is littered with victims of his past My soul's in the corner, one of his last There’s devils in front and angels out back Some dressed in white, others in black I'm warning you Whatever you do Don't pet the python Don't pet the python He drinks love juice from a rusty can Hotter than a beach bunny in the sand Turns his dead eyes toward something new You don't ever want them to fall on you He's a mean old snake Learn from my mistake Don't pet the python Don't pet the python He slides up so silently Lets you believe it's free Wraps himself around your truth Then squeezes love out of you Girl I'm warning you Whatever else you do Don't pet the python Don't pet the python Let him lie Don't pet the python Let him lie Don't pet the python Let him lie, let him lie, let him lie Don't pet the python
