Dirty Snake - Original - Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five

You dirty little snake, I just won’t take what you’re doin' to me You dirty little snake, I just won’t take what you’re doin' to me

I’ll be glad when you’re planted six feet deep

I won’t worry about you trying to make a creep

You were hungry and underfed and I let you share my bed

You tried to steal my gal instead, you dirty snake

There were times when I thought you were my best friend

But the time has come for our freindship to end

you’ve been blowin' guage now you got me in a rage

I ought to put you in a cage, you dirty snake

Now I know that you just can’t be on the square

Boy, you’re no good, you just ain’t nowhere

I gave you twos and five, and all you did was stall and jive

You should be buried alive, you dirty snake

Pack your grip and let me see you hit the road

I don’t wanna lay eyes on you anymore, you dirty toad

I split everything I had cause your troubles made me sad

You stole my gal and that is bad, you dirty snake

I’m gonna shoot you with my good old .44

You won’t double cross nobody any more

They will take your body away, plant it six feet in the clay

And I’ll jump for joy that day, you dirty snake

You dirty little snake your time is up You dirty little snake you filled my cup

Ya da da da Ya da da da Ya da da da Ya da da da Ya da da da Ya da da da

Ya da da da Ya da da da You’re just a dirty snake
