The Coasters
The Snake and the Bookworm
He watches every move she makes
He follows every step she takes
He tracks her down on the way to school
He comes on strong but she plays cool
She wants to get her homework done
He wants to go and-uh have some fun

Snake and the Bookworm
Snake and the Bookworm

She's trying to pass Geography
He's studying her anatomy
She's got a test she don't wanna fail
He's pullin' on her ponytail
She's thinkin' about her education
He's thinkin' about his-uh recreation

The Snake caught the Bookworm one fine day
And he wouldn't let her get away
He coiled his arms around her waist
And her sweet lips he tried to taste
She said, "I hear the school bells chime"
He said-a, "Baby, just-ah one more time"
