Lyrics
Big black noodle
Reference to a large snake with a dark color
On the ground
Snake is on the ground
Once you see it
Observation that the snake is noticed
You won't make a sound
Indication that seeing the snake creates silence or fear
"what is it?"
Question about the identity of the snake
Ask tourists all around
Suggesting tourists are being asked about the snake
"it looks deadly"
Comment on the perception that the snake is dangerous
Well that's profound
Reflection on the depth of the perceived danger
First there's the swelling
Describing symptoms of a snakebite
Then comes the headache
Continuation of symptoms, indicating severity
I hate to break it to you mate
Breaking the news that the snake is not ordinary
That's no ordinary snake
Acknowledgment of the snake's extraordinariness
It's a
Introduction of the snake's identity
Red belly black snake
Warning about a Red Belly Black Snake and potential danger
Red belly black snake
-Better watch out
-Or he'll bite ya face
-Red belly black snake
Reiteration of the warning and potential consequences
Red belly black snake
-Better watch out
-He's gonna bite ya face
-Wading through the scrub
Describing a location in the wild
On the side of a mountain
Details about the setting, including the region (New South Wales Highlands)
In the sticks
-New south wales highlands
-I feel a tingle around my ankle
Sensation of something touching the ankle
I look down at my leg
Realization of being bitten by the snake
And oh shit, i've been bit
-First there's the swelling
Repetition of symptoms post-bite
Then comes the headache
Continuation of symptoms, emphasizing severity
I hate to break it to you mate
Revelation about the snake not being ordinary
That's no ordinary snake
Acknowledgment of the extraordinary nature of the snake
It's a
Reiteration of the snake's identity
Red belly black snake
Warning about the Red Belly Black Snake and potential face bite
Red belly black snake
-Better watch out
-Or he'll bite ya face
-Red belly black snake
Reiteration of the warning and potential consequences
Red belly black snake
-Better watch out
-He's gonna bite ya face
-I can see the bone
Visualizing the severity of the snakebite
Someone call an ambulance
Call for help due to the seriousness of the situation
It's grown legs
