The worms crawl in
And the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in
Are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out
Are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in
And your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling
Down your snout
Be merry me boys be merry

Hope this helps, Den.

Traditional Halloween songs are called Souling Songs (from its being All Souls Day). There are two in the DT here and here. The second's just the chorus.

Cheers!

In a newer thread, California Ghoul mentioned "When I Die," and posted part of the lyrics. Here is what I remember of that song:

Did you ever think when the hearse goes by
that you might be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a long, white sheet,
And put a name tag on your feet.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The ants play pinochle on your snout.
Your stomach turns a glossy green
and puss flows out like whipping cream.
You sop it up with a piece of bread
And that's what you eat when you are dead,
So, when I die, don't bother to bury me at all,
Just pickle my bones in alcohol!
