The Worms Will Eat You Too

from A Dead Man. by Justin H.K.

lyrics

Whether you’re rich or poor
Whether tall or short
The worms will eat you too

You can be grotesque
You can look your best
The worms will eat you too

No matter what you were before
When the reaper’s at your door
The worms will eat you too

There’s nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
The worms will eat you too

Doesn’t matter if you’re young
Or if you’re old and gray
We all gotta’ die
Some day

They put you in a big black box
And cover you up with dirt and rocks
It all goes well for about a week
And 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’re dead

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
In your ears and out your mouth
The one little worm that isn’t so shy
Crawls in your ears and out your eye
There’s nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
The worms will eat you too
