There's a long long worm a crawling across the roof of my tent
The Quartermaster's calling and it's time I went
There's the cold cold water waiting for me to take my morning dip
And when I return I'll find that worm upon my pillow slip.

There's a caterpillar crawling around the rim of my plate
The Quartermaster's calling 'You'll leave nothing on that plate,
So I ate that caterpillar with a heart full of glee
I ate him for my dinner, so I can't have him for tea.

And that worm he went on crawling all through the heat of the day
And he went on crawling, crawling, and he would not stay
There's the warm, warm water waiting, for me to take my evening wash
And when I return I'll find that worm upon my bed squish squash.
