Then I wondered ..? What it must be like to be one! ... [bodytext] => I wonder what it feels like, to be a real slow snail
To ponder round a garden, and leave a slimy trail
To wind up all the gardeners, of whom most you never met
For all the world to hate you, to want to kill you! I would bet...

I wonder what it feels like, to roam around in morning dew
Not knowing all the trouble caused, and all because of you!
To be eating breakfast or a lunchtime meal, enjoying every bite
Then getting ready for a relaxing break, escaping from the light

Leaving devastation, when really you don't know
Just doing things you want to, going where you want to go.
I wonder would a snail change it's ways, if a gardner were to tell
Would a snail begin to please them? instead of putting them thru Hell?

I wonder what it feels like, I wonder if they care?
Cos a snail can't have much feelings, to do the things they dare!
I'm glad I'm not a garden snail, I don't think I would cope
But if I were, I'd be real nice... At least that's what I'd hope!

I wonder what it feels like, to be a real slow snail
To ponder round a garden, and leave a slimy trail
To wind up all the gardeners, of whom most you never met
For all the world to hate you, to want to kill you! I would bet...

I wonder what it feels like, to roam around in morning dew
Not knowing all the trouble caused, and all because of you!
To be eating breakfast or a lunchtime meal, enjoying every bite
Then getting ready for a relaxing break, escaping from the light

Leaving devastation, when really you don't know
Just doing things you want to, going where you want to go.
I wonder would a snail change it's ways, if a gardner were to tell
Would a snail begin to please them? instead of putting them thru Hell?

I wonder what it feels like, I wonder if they care?
Cos a snail can't have much feelings, to do the things they dare!
I'm glad I'm not a garden snail, I don't think I would cope
But if I were, I'd be real nice... At least that's what I'd hope!
