Belated Halloween Song (Caution - gross!)

So I was at a loss tonight as to what song I would sing Charlie at bedtime. I delved into the musty recesses of my memory and pulled out the "Worms crawl in" song:

The worms crawl in,
The worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout,
And one little worm who's not so shy,
Crawls in your nostril and out your eye,
Then your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus comes out like whipping cream!


Of course I had to do a little research on the song/saying and I discovered that it gets much worse:

Don't you ever laugh as a hearse goes by,
for you may be the next to die.
They wrap you up in a big white sheet,
And cover you up from your head down to your feet.
They put you in a big black box,
And cover you up with dirt and rocks.
All goes well for about a week,
And then your coffin begins to leak.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout.
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes.
A big green worm with rolling eyes,
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes.
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.
You spread it out on a slice of bread,
And that's what you eat when you are dead.


Bon Apetit!
