Here are the Riffs with the song.
Intro:
Don`t go looking for snakes you might find them
Don`t send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven`t I seen you here before ?

Ohhh, watch the puppets dancin`
Yeah, see the clowns fall down
Hey, tie your tap shoes tightly
Yeah, and wear them into town
Riff C:
See you crawlin`…
See you crawlin` in…
RIff D:
Don`t go looking for snakes you might find them
Don`t send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven`t I seen you here before ?
There ain`t no heroes here…no….no more
Hey hey hey
Riff B:
Oooh, play the game so nicely
Oh, check, its your move now
Yeah, we`re standing in this jungle
Yeah, with serpents I have found
Riff C:
See you crawlin`…
