On her way to work one morning, down the path along a lake
A tender hearted woman found a poor half frozen snake
His pretty coloured skin had been all frosted with the dew
'Oh, snake' she said 'I'll take you in and I'll take care of you'.
Chorus: Take me in tender woman, take me in for heaven sake
Take me in oh tender woman ssssssssighed the Snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk
