6. A Snake in the Grass Lyrics

1974 fantasy film
The Little Prince - A Snake in the Grass Lyrics

SNAKE:
If you would like to cure the fever called life;
Get some relief from all the struggle and strife;
The grandest medicine that I can propose
Is under your nose:
A snake in the grass.

If you would like a spot where life never goes;
Where you can leave your body home in your clothes;
The finest travel agent you’ll ever meet
Is right at your feet:
A snake in the grass.

One sting...!
And you can say goodbye to all of your friends.
One sting...!
And you’ll be singing as your spirit ascends:
All’s well that ends.

So any day or night wherever you are,
If you would like to take a trip to a star;
The quickest transportation yet known to man
Is none other than
A snake in the grass...
A snake in the grass...
A snake in the grass...

If you would like to live that inhuman race,
And take up residence out yonder in space;
When you are ready to go traveling on,
Sit right down upon
A snake in the grass.

One sting...!
Is quite enough to make you happy and free.
One sting...!
And you’ll discover how relaxed you can be,
Posthumously.

And while you’re wandering through the heavenly blue,
If you should see the Lord come strolling in view;
Go up and say you bring him best wishes from:
His fallen old chum,
A snake in the grass...
A snake in the grass...
A snake in the grass...
