Although I am a worm,
I never used to wiggle,
‘Cos when my tummy rubbed the floor,
It always made me giggle,
I couldn't make it half a yard,
Before I had to stop,
As I was laughing very hard,
Exhausted, I would flop,
T'd lay down on the comfy grass,
Beneath a shady flower,
‘And recover from my giggle fit,
Ic took me half'an hous,
My mum was quite unhappy,
My friends, they used to mock,
Until T had a jumper made,
Well, okay, more a sock,Now when I wear my wiggle sock,
And slide about the floor,
I do not get a tickle,
On my tummy any more,

I can wiggle to the shops and back,
My friends no longer scoff,
‘And when I want to giggle,
T just take my jumper off.
I can wiggle to the shops and back,
My friends no longer scoff,
And when | want to giggle,
Tjust take my jumper off,
