In the reptile room, where the baby screams,
Weirder creatures loom than in all of your dreams
In the reptile room, hither and thither,
Creatures from Khartoum slither anywither
In the reptile room, anacondas dance
Will they be our doom? Will we be their bon-bons?
And you wanna kow, wanna know, wanna know
Why I frown
Well, I'm smiling, I'm just smiling upside down
In the reptile room there's an evil man
In a strange costume; do not ride in his van
In the reptile room are pythons at play
In the murky gloom; what a horrible day!
