Meltin's Worm
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have you heard of Meltin's Worm, it crawled right
into this house, the dividends of grubby hands
And putting them into your mouth. It set up shop
and would not stop gorging whatever Meltin
could eat, its exquisite taste, it went to waste
On a diet consisting of sweets, the doctor came
and laid the blame on Meltin's nails he was
bitin', he made demands they didn't understand
'cos they couldn't read his writing, it grew and
grew and it knew that time was on its side
It got such a size you could see its eyes when
Meltin opened his WIDE, but there's just one
thing it cares about
KEEPMEALWAYSKEEPMEALWAYSKEEPME ALWAYSKEEPME
Knitting sneakers for the army
checking numbers off the telly
making plans with Mister Felstead
It does it no good it just needs more food
have you heard of Meltin's worm, it finally killed
him to death, now his ma feeds it, the uniforms
fits so she sends it to school instead
(i will always be inside)
Keep away, feed the worm, Meltin's worm
