[00:20.37]If she drank a glass of wine
[00:21.75]She's built just like a garter snake
[00:22.56]She climbs up like a vine

[00:54.36]Her figure's like a piece of string
[00:55.32]Umm, she rolls up every night
[01:03.48]Everybody thinks that I'm a nut
[01:04.53]To love this lovely worm

[01:43.95]And she loves to snap at me
[01:44.58]Everybody thinks I'm insane
[01:46.59]To overlook her faults
[01:49.71]But here's the reason I like 'em skinny
