The Snail Song

I'm a snail

Or a gastrod mollusc

I'm a snail

I have a shell on my back

And when under attack

I crawl inside

I'm slow I know

I'm one of the slowest creatures on the earth

I'm a snail

And wherever I go I leave a trail

My mucus trail helps me move

It's all shiny and smooth

And I'm a snail

I'm slow I know

I won't win the race

I move at my own pace

And I'm a snail

I'm a snail

A hermaphrodite

Both boy and girl

I have eyes on my tentacles

And teeth on my tongue

And I'm a snail

I'm slow I know

I leave a silvery trail behind me wherever I go

I'm a snail

I'm a snail
