Snake sings about how she came to be in The Cave.

lyrics

SNAKE SONG

I was living safely under a rock
With my children who numbered seventy seven
A number normal for garter snakes
Information I'm sure you've somewhere read

Their names were Sam and Sue and Stan
And Stella and Sadie and Sophie and Simon
Sally and Sara and Seth and Serena
Sabrina and Sandra and Solomon

And their names went on and on and on and on
They were, after all, practically one hundred!
We garter snakes that's how we spawn

I have no arms I cannot carry
Not like men or even eagles
So what do I do with babes whose lives
Should have been noble and regal?

Then came fire, then came flame
Then came fire and death and destruction
We tried our best to flee to safety
But the size of my babies proved their destruction

I barely got here, woe is me
My poor babes engulfed by flames
I shouldn't be here, I should die
And thus to them return their names
