Lyrics for The Viper

Story of that ole snake in the grass, called The Viper, I was in my apartment all alone when I heard a ring tingling on the telly-phone, I said "Who's that at half past three?" And a frightening voice came back at me! "Sssssss! Ssssssss! I am The Viper! I'll sssee you in seven weekss" My head was spinning and my knees were weak, I could hardly stand on my own two feet! Its next call got me out of bed, Then how I flipped when that voice said, "Sssssss! Ssssssss! I am The Viper! I'll see you in seven days" I shook like Jell-O in a hurricane! My heart was pounding like a Pullman train. Again that voice upset me so, Again I flipped as it said, "Oh, oh!" "Sssssss! I am The Viper, I'll ssssee you in sssseven ssssecondsss!" Now I'm certain that my time has come! I can hear its knock; it's too late to run! I know that I must let it in! So wish me luck, 'cause things look grim! "Ssssssssssss! I am The Viper!" "Oh, why have you come?" "I have come to vipe your vindows!"
