Just wondering if anyone knows the rest of the words to this little ditty we used to pester the girls with in grade school:
Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Guess I’ll go eat worms
Bite their heads off
Suck their guts out
Throw their skins away…
Thanks
The version I learned at school in the UK is similar up to that point, then goes:
Long thin curly ones
Short fat fuzzy ones
Think I’ll go and eat worms.
The long thin curly ones
Slip down easily
The short fat fuzzy ones stick
The fhort fat fuzzzy ones
Stick in your teeth
And all the juice goes “squick”*.
*I now know that has another, even more dubious meaning. Bleaugh.
I thought that it went…
Nobody likes me, everyone hates me,
I'm going down the garden to eat worms.
Long thin slimy ones,
Short fat fuzzy ones,
gooy gooy gooy worms.
Now the long thin slimy one slip down easy,
But the short fat fuzzy ones stick ... urgh!
The short fat fuzzy ones stick in your teeth,
But the juice goes sllluuuppp.
Now you bite off their heads, and you suck out the juice
And you trow the skins away.
Nobody knows how I survive,
On a hundred worms a day!plenty of replys!
Frank Burns eats worms!
Nobody loves me
Everybody hates me
Guess I’ll go eat worms.
Little bitty skinny ones
Great big fat ones
Watch them wiggle and squirm.
Bite their heads off
Suck their guts out
Throw the skins away.
Everybody knows
how everybody grows
on worms three times a day.
-YEAH !
I have a totally different version:
Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me
Guess I’ll go eat worms
Long thin skinny ones
Short fat fuzzy ones
Itsy bitsy fuzzy wuzzy worms.
Down goes the first one
Down goes the second one
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin skinny ones
Short fat fuzzy ones
Itsy bitsy fuzzy wuzzy worms
Up comes the first one
Up comes the second one
Oh, how they wriggle and squirm
Long thin skinny ones
Short fat fuzzy ones
Itsy bitsy fuzzy wuzzy worms.
Are any of these worms going to be shared, or are you keepig them all to yourself?
This is how we always sang it:
Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
I’m gonna eat some worms
First one greasy
Went down easy
Second one stuck to me tongue
Third one busted
Fourth one rusted
Fifth one stuck to me tongue
Oh, you chop off the head
Suck out the guts
Through the skins awayyy!!
Nobody knows but all us kids
Eat worms three times a day!
(And in between meals!)
(With a cherry on top!)
They always, always pick on me.
They never, never let me be.
I’m so very lonely, awfully sad,
It’s a long time since I’ve been glad.
But I know what I’ll do, by and by,
I’ll eat some worms, and then I’ll die!
When I’m gone, you wait and see—
They’ll all be sorry that they picked on me!
Dr. Demento has played this version recorded by Captain Rock.
Just for the sake of completeness, the version I learned is very similar to many of the above, but has slight differences, to wit:
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Think I’ll eat some worms
Big fat juicy ones, small skinny slimy ones,
Itsy bitsy fuzzy wuzzy worms
First I bite the heads off, then I suck the guts out,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm
Big fat juicy ones, small skinny slimy ones,
Itsy bitsy fuzzy wuzzy worms
Anybody remember “The Kids in the Hall” skit where the two “nobody likes me” guys (Kevin McDonald and Dave Foley IRC) are riding on a bus and they get the group singing that song with aparent joy only to open their breifcases and begin chomping on real worms?
Everyone screams with disgust and horror, panic ensues…
Mr.Foley: “Well, we said we were gonna eat worms…”
God I loved that show…
…the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
the worms play pinochle on your snout…
I’m voting for Booklover’s version…
Mostly cause its the one I know.
Ah, drewbert, that’s from “Never laugh when a hearse goes by,” another oldie but goodie…
