Squirm Squirm

Here is message number one, I am your beloved son

Here is message number two, I'm in love with only you

Here is message number three, you cannot escape from me

Here is message number four

I'm so far away

Looking down from high above, flying with a purple dove

I try now to describe the scene, this is what I think I seen

Squirm squirm went the worm

Squirm squirm went the worm

Here is message number five, you are here, you're alive

Here is message number six, there's no magic, there's no tricks

Here is message number seven, there's no hell, there's no heaven

Here is message number eight,

I'm so far away, I'm so lost and lonely now

Trodden down with my leather shoe

Killing ants as I talk to you

Squashing mites as I deeply slept

This is the record that I kept

Squirm squirm went the worm

Squirm squirm went the worm

Here is message number one, I am your beloved son

Here is message number two, I'm in love with only you

Here is message number three, you cannot escape from me

Here is message number four

Help!

Looking down from high above, flying with a purple dove

I try now to describe the scene, this is what I think I seen

Squirm squirm went the worm

Squirm squirm went the worm
