Chords for Children's Song: I'm Being Eaten By A Boa Constrictor by Shel Silverstein

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Hi there!
Welcome to the Miss Nina Weekly video.
I'm Miss Nina from MyMissNina.com,
where you'll find entertainment for young children and their families.
_ _ _ Did you see that
something is very different this week?
_ That's right, I got a haircut!
No pigtails right
now!
_ Oh my goodness!
Do you think we can still have fun even though I don't have pigtails?
I think we can.
I think we're still going to have a really good time.
I just needed
a new summertime haircut.
And I'm very excited to do this sing-along with you today, because
this song is called, I'm Being Eaten by a Boa Constrictor, by Shel Silverstein, who
wrote so many poems and songs and great things for kids.
And this one is very silly.
It's
pretty short, though.
So, it's a song about being eaten by a really big snake called _ _ _ a
boa and it slowly works its way up our bodies.
So anytime I say a body part, you should maybe
point to it, I think.
Okay?
And I'm going to go ahead and start [B] singing it. _
And _ I think
you're going to like it.
So here [D#] we go.
Who's ready?
If you're ready, I want to hear you
go, sssss, like a snake.
_ [B] Sssss.
Oh, everybody's ready.
Okay, here we go. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm being eaten [F#] by a boa _ constrictor, boa _ [B] constrictor, boa _ constrictor.
I'm being eaten
[E] by a boa _ constrictor [F#] and I don't like it one [B] bit.
_ [F#] Oh no, _ [B] he's up to my toe.
_ [F#] Oh jeez,
[B] he's got my knee. _
[F#] Oh my, _ [B] he's eating my thigh. _
[F#] Oh fiddle, he's [B] got my middle. _
Oh [A#m] heck,
_ [B] he's up to my neck.
_ [F#] Oh dread, [B] he's got _ my_
_ Boop. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ That's a silly song, isn't it?
Let's do it [B] one more time.
We may as well, it was so short.
Here we go.
Now you know it, you can sing it with me and pretend you're getting eaten
by a boa constrictor too.
Here we go.
_ _ _ _ I'm being eaten by a [F#] boa _ constrictor, boa _ [B] constrictor,
boa _ constrictor.
I'm being eaten [E] by a boa _ [F#] constrictor and I don't like it [B] one bit.
_ _ [C#m] Oh
[F#] no, he's [B] got my toe.
_ [F#] Oh jeez, [B] he's up to my knee.
_ [F#] Oh my, [B] he's got my thigh.
_ [F#]
Oh fiddle,
[B] he's up to my middle.
_ [F#]
Oh heck, [B] he's got my neck.
_ [F#]
Oh dread, _ [B] he's got _ my_ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Good job.
That is so silly.
What a good one.
I saw you doing it with me the second time
[N] especially.
Thank you for playing with me as usual.
