what is a boog a loo

The grass toad wanted to slither like the snake
He asked him for lessons, as his tail did shake
I can teach you, the rattler replied, but it might be hard for you.
To truly slither it helps to have scales, like the boog-a-loo.

What is the boog-a-loo? The grass toad asked aloud.
He had a vocabulary of which he had always been proud.
Boog-a-loo is what I do to distract you toads, the snake said.
So saying, he stung him senseless in his inquisitive head.
