Verse  

Am  
Dont ever laugh  
     F  
As a hearse goes by  
Am                           E  
For you may be the next to die  
Am  
They wrap you up  
    F  
In a big white sheet  
Am               E  
From your head down to your feet  

Am                  F  
They put you in a big black box  
Am                                 E  
And cover you up with dirt and rocks  
Am  
And all goes well  
       F  
For about a week  
Am           E  
And then your coffin begins to leak  

Am                              F  
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out  
    Am                  E  
The worms play pinochle on your snout  
Am                          Am  
They eat your eyes, they eat your noes  
F                  E  
They eat the jelly between your toes  


[Refrão]
F                    Am  
A big green worm with rolling eyes  
E                          Am  
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes  
       F             Am  
Your stomach turns a slimy green  
      E                 Am  
And puss comes out like whipping cream  

      F           Am  
You spread it on a slice of bread  
      E             Am  
And that's what you eat when you’re dead  
   
Verse  
        Am                      F  
And the worms crawl out and the worms crawl in  
 Am                            E  
The worms that crawl in are lean and thin  
Am                       F  
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout  
Am                                E  
Your eyes fall in and your hair falls out  
F                       E  
Your brain comes tumbling down your snout  

Am                          F  
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out  
Am                               E  
They crawl all over your dirty snout  
Am                                     F  
Your chest caves in and your eyes pop out  
Am                 E  
Your brain turns to sauerkraut  


[Refrão]
F                              Am  
They invite their friends, and their friends too  
E                     Am  
They all come down to chew on you  
F                Am              E                         Am  
And this is what it is to die; i hope you had a nice goodbye  

Verse  
Am                  F  
Did you ever think as a hearse goes by  
Am                              E  
That you may be the next to die  
Am                        F  
And your eyes fall out and your teeth decay  
Am                         E        Am  
And that is the end of a perfect... day
