The Earthworm lives inside the ground
He never brings his friends around
He travels miles from to and fro
But where is he going?
Why, he don't know
He's got no face that I can see
He's got no personality
He's got no eyes and no relief
He don't get tired so he can't sleep
Hello Earthworm in the ground
I heard you were lonely so I come around
So when I go fishing in the deep blue sea
You can come along and go fishing with me!
The Earthworm, is a friend to fish
They call him close to where they wish
And when he's close enough to catch
Our friend becomes a fine gourmet dish
The Earthworm is a friend to Man
They like to keep him in an old tin can
Put him on a hook to catch some trout
He's got so many friends
They might wipe him out!
Hello Earthworm in the ground
I heard you were lonely so I come around
So when I go fishing in the deep blue sea
You can come along and go fishing with me!
The Earthworm he likes to be alone
He's not too smart and he got no bones
And how he's lived as long as he does
Why, don't ask me! 'Cause I've never been one
But if someday I am a worm
And in the ground by chance I squirm
I'd rather be alone and free
If you come around
Don't make friends With ME!!!
