baby, i'm a mongoose
baby, turn that beast loose
yes, i'm only stunned
i'm scared, but tough
i'll hurt that lout
maybe i'm a-crazy
but i just can't live without...

snake huntin' and detection
look in all directions
when i find, i bite
and when i'm through
he has no power
snakes think they are preyin'
but the fangs they are displayin'
excites me

though, i risk my life
my rapid motions get me by
squealin', when i'm riled
i'm really gonna nail that guy
lately, i'm a-bayin'
when i see that dead snake layin'
beside me

reckless, is my life
you get the notion, i could die
but i'm pretty strong
and i just laugh
when snakes come by
just let 'em try

baby, i'm a mongoose
baby, turn that beast loose

oh, it took so long to find one, baby

baby, i'm a mongoose
baby, turn that beast loose
