Big Fat Worms

When I was in 1st grade a little nasty girl compared me to an elephant when the teacher asked for comparisons to animals. 30 years later I still remember her name ( teacher and nasty little girl) I also remember this song which is what I hummed in order not to cry and make myself laugh instead.

I must say that I remember with the mind of an elephant every nasty thing that anyone has ever thought, uttered or said out right about me - so maybe the nasty little girl (Jill Tracey) had a point and I just took it the wrong way.

We are all the mess that we make in our minds and there is nothing that can defend from that, however this still works for me with most situations: and I have to have a laugh at this woman's brave performance:

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




she got it sort of basically correct -but here are the actual lyrics as known to a number of people and interpretations: almost like religion this worm folk-lore!


I'm Gonna Eat Some Worms


Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,I'm gonna eat some worms,Big fat juicy ones, little teeny tiny ones,Teeny tiny, squeemy, squimey worms!

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,Oh how they wiggle and squirmBig fat juicy ones, little teeny tiny ones,Teeny tiny, squeemy, squimey worms!

Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,Oh how they wiggle and squirmBig fat juicy ones, little teeny tiny ones,Teeny tiny, squeemy, squimey worms!

Another version of the song :

Nobody likes me Everybody hates me Going to the garden to eat worms Long slim slimy ones Short fat fuzzy ones Ooey, gooey, gooey, gooey Êworms

Now the long slim slimy ones slip down easilyThe short fat fuzzy ones stickWhen the short fat fuzzy ones stick to your teeth Your blood goes ick, ick, ick,So you cut off their heads and spit out their tails and throw their skins awayNobody knows how I can survive on a hundred worms a day.

who could not appreciate that turn of phrase mastered with a tune :) I think the first version is what I hum hum hum in my head...
