Black Mamba, Black Mamba, she bad, bad snake. We hunt, we chase all other snakes. Black Mamba, she hunts, she chases us. She hides in trees, she hides in grass. She slithers so fast we can’t escape. She bites, and when she bites, we die. One night she climb to top of hut. She drop through smokehole, next to fire. Sleeping family lying there. One, two, three, four – She bites the woman, bites the man. Bites the boy, and bites the girl. Plenty of poison – she kills them all. Black Mamba, Black Mamba, she bad, bad snake.
