Bob Fosse - A Snake in the Grass
текст песни

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
Alls 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 leave
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
