Snake mistake is a poem by Kenn Nesbitt, who has written a lot of poetry for children. The part about the bees seems to sum up the worries of a child, who would mostly be concerned with pesky bees while playing outside than with any problems of an adult's life. The part that goes "my dad is so cool" is also just another reference to a young boy's mentality, in which a father figure is elevated to superhero status. His dad being "the coolest dad in dad school" refers to how children often don't see beyond the scope of their own lives. A child goes to school, so he would connect this vision of the world to other people; his dad must go to school too, only a school for grown ups. Basically this song is all about being a young child, and this theme can be found in a lot of Dan Deacon's music. It's one of the best aspects of his music.
