Thread Name: Lyr Req: a worm song
Subject: RE: lyrics: a worm song
This is one my mother taught me - she has a little painting of it (with the words) in her home. It's my recollection that it comes from a well-known nursery rhyme writer, e.g., James Whitcomb Riley, but I'm not sure.......Tiger

Nobody Likes Me

Nobody likes me; ev'rybody hates me.
Going to the garden to eat worms.
Long thin slimy ones, short, fat, fuzzy ones.
Ooey, gooey, gooey, gooey worms.

The long, thin, slimy ones slip down easily;
The short, fat, fuzzy ones stick.
When the short, fat, fuzzy ones stick to your teeth,
Your blood goes ick!

So you bite off the heads, and spit out the tails,
And throw the skins away;
And nobody knows how I can survive
On a hundred worms a day.
