Jag blir svald av en boaorm

Den här smått morbida sången av Peter, Paul & Mommy anno 1969 brukade min mamma sjunga för mig när jag var liten. Hon var särskilt skicklig på att få till gulp-ljudet i slutet och eftersom vi barn inte förstod engelska så översatte hon texten efteråt.

BOA CONSTRICTOR

Shel Silverstein -Tro-Hollis Music, Inc. BMI

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, oh no, he swallowed my toe,

he swallowed my toe

Oh gee, oh gee, he's up to my knee,

he's up to my knee

Oh fiddle, oh fiddle, he's reached my middle,

he's reached my middle

Oh heck, oh heck, he's up to my neck,

he's up to my neck

Oh dread, oh dread, he swallowed my.... schlirppp!
