Lyrics and translation The Coasters - The Snake And The Book Worm

The Snake And The Book Worm

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 and she plays cool
She wants to get her homework done
He wants to go out and have some fun

She's trying to pass geography
He's studying her anatomy
She's got a test she don't want to fail
He's pulling on her ponytail
She's thinking about her education
He's thinking about his recreation

Snake caught a bookworm one fine day
And he wouldn't let her get away
He caught his arms around her waist
And her sweet lips he tried to taste
She said I hear the school bell chime
He said baby just one more time.

Le Serpent et le Rat de Bibliothèque

J'observe chacun de tes mouvements
Je suis chacun de tes pas
Je te piste sur le chemin de l'école
J'insiste, et toi, tu restes cool
Tu veux finir tes devoirs
Moi, je veux sortir et m'amuser un peu

Tu essaies de réussir en géographie
Moi, j'étudie ton anatomie
Tu as un examen que tu ne veux pas rater
Je tire sur ta queue de cheval
Tu penses à ton éducation
Moi, je pense à mes récréations

Un beau jour, le serpent attrapa un rat de bibliothèque
Et il ne la laissa pas s'échapper
Il l'enlaça par la taille
Et tenta de goûter à ses lèvres douces
Elle dit : J'entends la cloche de l'école sonner
Il dit : Bébé, juste une fois de plus.
