This is a fun Halloweenie little ditty. Someone asked me to make the worms segment a chorus so I had to rearrange it slightly. I cannot believe I cannot find any versions of this with singing and music. There's an a capella version with the sinister old man singing and many cheesy syth versions but never both so here is my attempt. Although I did come across an adorable headbanging puppet video. I did a studio version with a harpsichord added and back up vocals. Maybe I'll put that one up too if I can find a visual to go with. It was a fine line with the organ to keep it more haunted mansion and less ballpark. This song was apparently anonymously written.

Here are the traditional lyrics:

Do you ever think as a hearse goes by,
that you may be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet.
They put you in a big black box,
And cover you up with dirt and rocks.
All goes well for about a week,
Then your coffin begins to leak.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout.
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes.
A big green worm with rolling eyes,
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes.
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.
You spread it on a slice of bread,
And that's what you eat when you are dead.
