Here are the Riffs with the song.
 
Intro:
    Don't go looking for snakes you might find them
    Don't send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
    Haven't I seen you here before ?
 
Riff B:
         Ohhh, watch the puppets dancin'
         Yeah, see the clowns fall down
         Hey, tie your tap shoes tightly
         Yeah, and wear them into town
 
Riff C:
    See you crawlin'...
    See you crawlin' in...
 
RIff D:
    Don't go looking for snakes you might find them
    Don't send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
    Haven't I seen you here before ?
    There ain't no heroes here...no....no more
 
         Hey hey hey
Riff B:
         Oooh, play the game so nicely
         Oh, check, its your move now
         Yeah, we're standing in this jungle

Riff C:
    See you crawlin'...
