I’m Being Swallowed by a Boa Constrictor

I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor, a boa constrictor, a boa constrictor,
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor,
And It really hurts!
Oh No No No it ate my toe toe toe.
Oh gee gee gee it ate my knee knee knee.
Oh my my my it ate my thigh thigh thigh.
Oh fiddle fiddle fiddle it ate my middle middle middle.
Oh heck heck heck it ate my neck neck neck.
Oh dread dread dread it ate my head head head.
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor,
And it really hurts

*Shel Silverstein poem, I changed the wording slightly a the chorus so that it is more singable.

On your sleeve? On my sleeve.
On your pants? On my pants. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
