On her way to work one morning

Down the path alongside the lake

A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake

His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew

“Oh well,” she cried, “I'll take you in and I'll take care of you”

“Take me in oh tender woman

Take me in, for heaven's sake

Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake

She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk

And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk

Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived

She found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived

“Take me in, oh tender woman

Take me in, for heaven's sake

Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake

Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You're so beautiful,” she cried

“But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died”

Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight

But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite

“Take me in, oh tender woman

Take me in, for heaven's sake

Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake

“I saved you,” cried that woman

“And you've bit me even, why?

You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die”

“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin

“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in

”Take me in, oh tender woman

Take me in, for heaven's sake

Take me in oh tender woman,“ sighed the snake

it perfectly describes how this conman seduced hiss (automated spelling but I left it in ) followers to vote for him and now many of them can suffer the consequences. (Along with us .)

"The Snake" is a song and single released by American singer Al Wilson in 1968, and written by civil-rights activist Oscar Brown in 1963.


[link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snake_(song)]

It's a precautionary tale about putting your trust in treacherous people.

On edit: sorry, can't get the Wiki link to post properly. It takes you to a disambiguation page where you can scroll down to "AL Wilson Song." The article is worth reading.

It fits him in a way.

What have you got to lose?
Give me a chance.
Trust me.

THEY knew he was a snake, but let him in anyway and know he's killing them.

if they show you they are a snake, they're a snake even if they say they aren't.
