Langue d’amour Laurie Anderson

Let's see, uh...
It was on an island
And there was this snake
And this snake had legs
And he could walk all around the island
Yes, that's true
A snake with legs
And the man and the woman were on the island too
And they were not very smart
But they were happy as clams. Yes

Let's see, uh...
Then one evening
The snake was walking about in the garden
And he was talking to himself
And he saw the woman, and they started to talk
And they became friends
Very good friends

And the woman liked the snake very much
Because when he talked
He made little noises with his tongue
And his long tongue
Was lightly licking about his lips
Like there was a little fire inside his mouth
And the flame would come dancing out of his mouth
And the woman liked this... very much
And after that, she was bored with the man
Because no matter what happened
He was always as happy as a clam
