lyrics

henry horror look at this
see what you’ve done you fool
you broke the glass and forced us under
king kobra’s horrid rule
all thanks to you the human race
is made up of snake slaves
you broke the glass and now we’re all
headed to our graves

he says,
“whoa oh oh
what have i done?
all my life
i thought snakes were fun
now i see
that it was a lie
i’ll lead the rebellion
though i fear i will die”
henry horror and his horrible inadequacies

henry horror rallies
a crowd of human men
they make a plan to break into
king kobra’s den
they grab whatever
makeshift weapons they find
henry horror grabs an axe
and leads them in a line

he says,
“whoa oh oh
what have i done?
all my life
i thought snakes were fun
now i see
that it was a lie
i’ll lead the rebellion
though i fear i will die”
henry horror and his horrible inadequacies

they break into the white house
that kobra’s commandeered
it’s filled with mamba mercenaries
just as they feared
a brave man becomes a martyr
so that the path is free
as he’s riddled with bullets
he thinks of his family

he says,
“whoa oh oh
what have i done?
all my life
i thought snakes were fun
now i see
that it was a lie
i’ll lead the rebellion
though i fear i will die”
henry horror and his horrible inadequacies

they reach the oval office
where king kobra waits
henry horror raises his axe
but he hesitates
suddenly henry’s men are killed
by kobra’s hired guns
king kobra coils ‘round him and says,
“don’t you try and run”

he says,
“whoa oh oh
what have i done?
all my life
i thought snakes were fun
now i see
that it was a lie
i’ll lead the rebellion
though i fear i will die”
henry horror and his horrible inadequacies

henry horror i’ve got you now
my tail’s wrapped around you
you saved me from that wretched tank
i’ll admit that much is true
but now i’m going to kill you
and eat your remains
i won’t stop ‘til all the world
is choked with serpent’s chains

he says,
“whoa oh oh
what have i done?
all my life
i thought snakes were fun
now i see
that it was a lie
i’ll lead the rebellion
though i fear i will die”
henry horror and his horrible inadequacies

henry horror’s face turns blue
as he runs out of air
king kobra tightens up on him
gives him a deathly stare
henry horror cannot breathe
as no air fills his lungs
the last thing henry horror sees
is king kobra’s giant tongue

he said
“whoa oh oh
what have i done?
all my life
i thought snakes were fun”
henry horror made
the world’s biggest mistake
he got what he deserved
for trusting in a snake
henry horror and his horrible inadequacies
