Ok, who sang this song as a child?? Warning, it's kind of gross!

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

I remember that movie!!!!

the worms song opened the movie - my mom watched it on TV when I was very young(60's). I was still awake and was listening - it freaked me out and I have never forgotten it. A little girl sang it in a very creepy, eerie way!

I am not sure, but I think she kept singing it throughout the movie....

 

[lulugirl]

I love the diarrhea songs!

If your climbing up a ladder and hear something splatter.
Diarrhea, Diarrhea!

My kids love when I sing the diarrhea song!
"Some people think it's funny but it's really hot and runny...diarrhea!

from Cemetery Culture:

One of the favorite folk songs that American children learn either from their families or on the playgrounds deals with the gruesome subject of decomposition. The song's origins go back to the 19th century, at least, when it was documented among British soldiers serving in the Crimean campaign. The catchiness of the melody and the rare opportunity to speak humorously about the ugly side of death doubtlessly has ensured the ballad's survival into the 21st century. Like most folk songs, there is no definitive version. Other versions:

The worms crawl in,
the worms crawl out.
They play pinochle
at your snout.

A big, black spider
from Paradise
goes in your liver
and out your eyes.

The worms crawl in the worms crawl out
In your ears and out your snout

Your eyes fall out, your teeth decay
A rotten end to a lovely day

Worms crawl in and worms crawl out
Worms play pinochle on your snout

They'll put your guts on a piece of bread
and that's what you'll eat when you are dead!

 

[MzDiz]

We sang-
Don't you laugh when a hearse comes by, 'cause you may be the next to die.
They wrap you up in a big white sheet, and soon you know you'll be six feet dee-ee-ee-eep, dee-ee-ee-eep.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play pinochle on your snout.
The puss comes out like whipping cream, and soon it turns a shiny green.

Thinking about these songs we sang explains a lot about me now. I think I'll go sing them to some kids, maybe someone will call CPS on me.

 

[6TimeMomma]

We always liked:

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Guess I'll go out and eat worms....
Fat ones, skinny ones,
Short ones, long ones
Cut off their head
And suck their guts

 

[amy4bruce]

I have taught my boys all three of those songs, plus Dead Puppies. I know, I am a sick, sick mommy.

We had a first verse.

Did you ever see a Hearse go buy and think you'ld be the next to die? They put you in a great big box and cover you up with dirt and rocks.

We sang all three of them, and knew the first verse.

Interestingly enough, the organist at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn used to play the song when the opposing team changed pitchers. ("The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out...)

 

[MzDiz]

Then there's always the campfire family favorite -

I'm looking over my dead dog Rover, that I over-ran with the mower.
One leg is missing, the other is gone, the third one is scattered all over the lawn.
There's no use explaining, the one remaining is hanging on the back porch door.
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover, that I over-ran *beep beep*, that I over-ran *toot toot*, that I over-ran with the mower!

 

[pearlieq]

We did a variation of that one:

Did you ever think, when the hearse goes by
That you may be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a nice clean sheet
And put you down about six feet deep.

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle on your snout.
They eat your clothes, they eat your hat
They crawl in skinny and crawl out fat!


Did anyone else sing the song about the baby bumble bee? It was something like you had it trapped in your hands, then you smushed it up, then you licked it up, and then finally you barfed it up. It was disgusting!

Yes yest he bumble bee, and won't my Mommy be so proud of me...I loved it..

 

[cryssi]

I remember singing this when I was 5 years old!

There are many versions of it but this is how we sang it:

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle (Pee knuckle) on your snout.

They eat your eyes, they eat your nose
They eat the jelly between your toes.

A great big 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 worms eat when you’re dead.


HERE is the music with some other lyrics.

I guess it got popular again when I was a kid because of a Zsa Zsa Gabor movie from 1966 called "Picture Mommy Dead". A little girl sings it in the movie.

So come on, fess up, who used to sing it? What is your version?

Ok, I thought it was:

They'll put you in a little box
and bury you deep beneath the rocks

(don't remember the rest here)

The worms crawl in
the worms crawl out
the worms play peekaboo on your snout

Your stomach turns a slimy green
and that's the end of a perfect thing.



LOL

 

[TEENEE]

How bout this one...

comet makes the grass grow green
comet tastes like gasoline
comet will make you vomit
so get some comet and vomit today

I love the diarrhea songs!

If your climbing up a ladder and hear something splatter.
Diarrhea, Diarrhea!

I learned that song as a kid!

Also learned "beans beans they're good for your heart, the more you eat the more you fart. The more you fart the better you feel, beans beans they're a healthy meal."

 

[TinyLittleMouse]

I never sang it but I think it's hilarious.

We sang a song, equally gross, when I was in elementary school. I don't know who started it, or if it's even a real song or just something somebody made up.


Warning--somewhat disgusting lyrics to follow. Don't say I didn't warn you.

The Diarrhea Song​

If you're walking down the hall and you hear something fall
Diarrhea ooh ooh
Diarrhea ooh ooh!
If you're slidin in home plate and something hits you in the face
Diarrhea ooh ooh
Diarreha ooh ooh
If you're climbing up the ladder and you hear something splatter
Diarrhea ooh ooh
Diarrhea ooh ooh


I know there were at least a five or six more 'verses' but I can't remember them right now.

TLM

 

[lyeag]

Some people think it's gross
but it's really good on toast
Diarrhea, Diarrhea!

 

[lyeag]

I learned that song as a kid!

Also learned "beans beans they're good for your heart, the more you eat the more you fart. The more you fart the better you feel, beans beans they're a healthy meal."

I learned

Beans, beans the magical fruit,
the more you eat, the more you toot.
The more you toot
the better you feel,
so let's have beans at every meal!

 

[Cool-Beans]

I love these songs and sang most as a kid. I'm the Queen of Camp Songs...go ahead, toss one at me - I know it.

Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap (clap,clap)
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap (clap,clap)
I'd go slidey, slidey, slidey
Over everybody's hiney
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap.

 

[TinyLittleMouse]

We sang that at a Girl Scout mother-daughter campout one time and some mother got so irate that it was banned (in our troop anyway).

There's another verse!
Oh, I wish I were a mug of beer, mug of beer
Oh, I wish I were a mug of beer, mug of beer.
I'd go down with a slurp and come up with a burp,
Oh, I wish I were a mug of beer, mug of beer!
