Ballad of the Snakes of Hawaii original

This is entirely different and unconnected to the band Army Navy’s Snakes of Hawaii song. It’s a nonsense ballad; I got the idea for it from a quote by science fiction author Philip K. Dick (it’s in the rather long and rambling introduction to “I Hope We Get There Soon”). There’s a couple slip-ups but of all my tries so far this is the version I think works best.
