THE WORMS CRAWL IN
If you should see a hearse go by
You'll know that you are the next to die
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
And bury you down about six feet deep
It all goes well for about a week
And then the coffin begins to leak
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The mice* play pinochle on your snout
One little worm that isn't so shy
Craws in your ear and out your eye
Your eyes they turn a gushy green
Your stomach turns to whipped ice-cream
You spread it all on a piece of bread
And that's what you eat when you're dead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
From the singing of Judy Cook, who remembers it from childhood.
Variations remembered by others:
*mice - worms Dennis Cook
