Charm The Snake Lyrics By Christopher Cross

    you gotta be smart
    you gotta be cool
    you gotta keep a straight face
    when you’re playin’ the fool
    you gotta wear a smile
    when you’re breakin’ the rules
    you gotta charm that snake now baby

    you gotta be smooth
    you gotta be quick
    i think it might just help
    to be a little bit sick
    you know the bite can’t cut you
    if the skin is thick
    charm that snake now baby

    hey we ain’t all good lookin’
    there ain’t no reason
    to take a good lickin’
    the clock on the wall
    gonna keep on tickin’
    charm that snake now baby
    charm that snake now baby

    whoa oh oh
    don’t let go of it
    don’t let go
    whoa oh oh
    gotta charm that snake
    charm that snake

    one stripe two stripes
    what does it mean
    the venom is lethal
    but the meat is clean
    the best take advantage
    of you like a machine
    you gotta charm that snake now maybe

    don’t let the fingernails
    under the heart
    if they get a good grip
    they’re gonna rip it apart
    the first and last kisses
    are the dangerous part
    you gotta charm that snake now baby
    charm that snake now baby

    whoa oh oh
    don’t let go of it
    don’t let go
    whoa oh oh
    you gotta charm that snake
    charm that snake

    there’s a hook in the bait
    the first one made a mistake
    if you’ve got what it takes
    you better charm that snake

    you gotta let it show
    you ain’t gonna let it go
    i’m gonna let ’em know
    never gonna let it go

    uhhuh
    well all right
    let’s get it right

    you gotta charm it oh yeah
    oh yeah
    you gotta charm it
    you gotta charm that snake
    you gotta charm it oh yeah

    whoa gotta charm that snake now baby
    whoa gotta charm that snake now baby
    charm that snake

    whoa you gotta charm that snake now baby
    whoa you gotta charm that snake now baby
    charm that snake
