The song "Snake Baked a Hoecake" tells the story of a snake who bakes a hoecake (a type of cornbread) and asks a frog to watch over it. However, the frog falls asleep and a lizard comes and steals the hoecake. The snake then begs for the hoecake to be returned. The song is a traditional American folk tune that often features animals and cautionary tales. In this particular story, the snake represents someone who is cunning and deceptive, while the frog and lizard are portrayed as being lazy and dishonest. The song serves as a lesson about the consequences of not being vigilant and trusting the wrong people.
