This is a very literal song. It's about a little snail who fell out of its shell, but was rescued by a human who helped the little guy back into his shell. The snail is thankful to have been rescued and wonders why the person helped it and if it can repay the person.
There are also cute references to the fact that the snail is baffled by its rescuer: "sir hand or is it ma'am?" - the snail can't tell the gender of its rescuer, it can really only make out the hand; "How may I give you a hand from the position at your feet where I stand" - the snail is tiny and can barely come up to its rescuers feet but is still grateful.
