In the Body of a Snake to the tune of In the Belly of the Whale from 
the Veggietales movie Jonah.

pixieberry has been kind enough to inform me offlist that this is 
performed by the Newsboys, one of her favourite groups.

Dedicated to pixieberry, of course.


In the Body of a Snake
 
In the forest of Albania, during his bodyless phase, LV sings:
(Backup vocals provided by furry woodland creatures)

Out of my norm without a form.
Can't believe I took that blow.
Of my curse rejected, then reflected.
Got word from Pete, thought my dark plan would be complete.
He said "go, Godric's Hollow"
Tossed an AK-but, hey,
What's that blinding green glow?

I'm down on my belly here
(In the body of a snake)
I'm weaker than jelly here
(In the body of a snake)
Not even a deli here!
(And I've got a belly ache)
How long must this form I take?

So now I'm coiled here feeling blue
Got no wand, so I'm just chillin'.
Can't hold one in a bod reptilian.
If one were served me, I'd be saved-
Back to be a nasty git-head 
(Hmm, I wonder what rhymes with "git-head")

I'm down on my belly here
(In the body of a snake)
I'm weaker than jelly here
(In the body of a snake)
I'm going through Hell-y here
(And I've got a belly ache)
How long must this form I take?

The years, they pass dragging me down
No beers to pass, helping me drown 
the horror.
The DE's pass on giving a second chance.

I'm down on my belly here
(In the body of a snake)
Scenery's Mary Shelley here
(In the body of a snake)
Some hands would turn up my frown
(Winnin' hands down.
In the body of a snake)

I'm in the body of a snake 
(In the body of a snake)
I'm in the body
(In the body of a snake)
I'm in the body of a snake
(In the body of a snake)

In the body, in the body of a snake
It's just more than I can take.
When my coils squeeze
It's indigestion, but it's a feeling I can shake.
Hey, buddy, wipe my nose please
Cuz as you can plainly see
Haven't got a hand that's free.

I'm a Voldemort, Heading back someday
It's a ruddy chore, but I'm gonna make them pay.
All the DE's must pray
I'll forget, no regret-say
They're wrong-I am strong
I belong
And that Potter's gonna pay!

In the body of a snake
(In the body)
In the body of a snake
(In the body)
In the body of a snake
(In the body, in the body of a snake)
In the body of a snake
I'm livin' in the body of a snake.


Just a note:  I'm not sure if this is recorded elsewhere, but on the 
lyrics page (what?  you think a middle aged lady can actually 
understand that rap-like section?) there was a verse that's not on 
the movie, so I didn't include it.  

If anyone's interested in the actual lyrics, they are at 
lyricscrawler.com under V for Veggietales.  They're a hoot.

Happy New Year!  Ginger
