nobody loves me everybody hates me guess i'll go eat worms

the mythical worm Oroboros

Filched from the USA National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences kids' page. The tune is very close to "Polly Wolly Doodle" (which is sung in Sam Peckinpah's movie "The Wild Bunch," rent it immediately).

Version I:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms,
Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

Version II

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
Think I'll go and eat worms
Long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones
See how they wriggle and squirm

I bite off the heads, and suck out the juice
And throw the skins away
Nobody knows how fat I grow
On worms three times a day

Ohh ... nobody loves me.

Version III:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Think I'll go eat worms.
Big fat juicy ones, Eensie weensy squeensy ones,
See how they wiggle and squirm.

Chomp off their heads and squeeze out the juice
And throw their tails away
Nobody knows how I survive
On worms three times a day.

Version IV:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me
I'm goin' down the garden to eat worms
Long thin slimy ones, short fat fuzzy ones
Ooey gooey, ooey gooey worms

Long thin slimy ones slip down easily
Short fat fuzzy ones don't
Short fat fuzzy ones stick to your teeth
And the juice goes slurpin'
(slurping noise)
down your throat

Version V:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
think I'll go eat worms ...
big fat juicy ones, little slimy skinny ones,
hope they don't have germs!"
