I may be skinny and scrawny
Or burly and brawny
Have teeth, a shell or a tail
I can be timid or brawly
Creepy and crawly
A vertebrate covered in scales
I'm cold blooded
And the sight of me can make people squirm
'Cause I'm a reptile with a reputation
Whether I slink or slither
You'll never see me dither
I'm as cool as a day in the shade
It's never funny honey
When the day's not sunny
Sans the heat life is really low-grade
I'm cold blooded
And the sight of me can make people squirm
'Cause I'm a reptile with a reputation
Whether a dragon or snake
Let's set the record straight
My reputation exaggerates the truth
If I have sharp teeth or venom
Make courtesy your maxim
Give me space, don't be naive and uncouth
I'm cold blooded
Get to know me and you won't need to squirm
'Cause I'm a reptile living down my reputation
Yes, I'm a reptile living down my reputation
