I remember the words to this song, but I don’t actually remember the tune. It may have been more of a chant than a song. If you’re familiar with this song, please let me know if it’s a tune or a chant so I can let it be known!
I’m being swallowed by a
boa constrictor,
I’m being swallowed by a
boa constrictor,
I’m being swallowed by a
boa constrictor,
And I don’t like it very much.Oh no, he swallowed by toe.
Oh gee, he’s up to my knee.
Oh fiddle, he’s up to my middle,
Oh heck, he’s up to my neck.
Oh dread, he swallowed my (slurp-swallow)
It’s a Shel Silverstein poem.
I thought so, but I know we did kinda sing it. Someone along the years put a tune to it. I just don’t remember it :/
