Snakes!
Seymour Snake has been a reptile activist for a long, long time. "A lot of people and animals out there have a negative attitude toward snakes. They don't like us. They are afraid of us. And they think we are slimy," says Seymour, President of A.S.A.W., (Association for Snake Acceptance Worldwide.) "I want the world to know the truth. We are smooth. Our skin is soft and we mean no harm." Though Seymour loves the Gentle Jungle, he is rarely found there. "We are on the road 300 days a year," he says, "Talking up snakes and other reptiles, singing our songs and shedding!"
Lyrics
Snakes aren't slimy and snakes aren't grimy
in fact snakes are smooth and clean
Our skin is soft like hay in the loft
I don't know why we make people scream
We like to hiss just like thisssssss...
it's just the way we talk
we've got to slither from yon to hither
without legs it's hard to walk
and just like cats, we eat rats
we get no credit for exterminating
in a house with a wayward mouse
snakes are good, there’s no mistaking!
All my snake friends sing along...
We're here to stay and proudly we say
that snakes like us we're not going away
so when you see us no need to fear us
just wish us a sunny day,
we're snakes!
