Lyrics

Don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes by
For you may be the next one to die.
They wrap you up in big white sheets
and bury you down about six feet deep
They put you in a big black box
And cover you with dirt and rocks.
All goes well for about a week,
Until 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,
Your throat is gone so you cannot scream

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout,
So the next time you see a hearse go by
I hope you won’t be the next to die
