Carol: Just..south..of..Mi-ami There's a snake named Sammy Who forms a letter S each night on stage

(Sammy the Snake slithers onto centerstage)

Folks just adore Sammy And what's more, Sammy Makes a SSS SSS sound that's fast becoming all the rage (Carol sits next to Sammy on the stage)

This serpent still thrills me And it just kills me To hear him hiss S's clear and true (Carol holds her arms out)

Sammy: hissss

Sammy: Hello, it'ssss me, Sssssammy That'ssss the name Mammy Gave me many yearsss ago when I was hatched
