First you get a bucket, Then you get a shovel,
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.
Chorus: (repeat after each verse)
Long, slim, slimy ones, short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy, wuzzy worms.

I'm gonna eat some worms.
First you pull the heads off, Then you suck the guts out,
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.
(CHORUS)
Down goes the first one, Down goes the second one,
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.

Up comes the first one, Up comes the second one,
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.

Oh I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot
And I wear my winter woolies in the winter when it's not
But sometimes in the springtime and sometimes in the fall
I jump between the sheets with nothing on at all.
Glory, glory hallelujah, Glory, glory what's it to ya
The balmy breeze is gettin to ya, With nothing on at all.
Q U A R T E R M A S T E R' S S T O R E
There are bears, bears, bears, bears sleeping on the stairs
In the store, in the store, in the store, in the store

In the quartermaster's, quartermaster's store.

Called myself up on the phone,
Just to see if I was home.
Asked myself out for a date,
Picked me up at half past eight.
Took myself out to the show,
Sat me down on the second row.
Put my arms around my waist;
Got so fresh, I slapped my face.
I can sing and I can dance,
I wear ruffles on my _________
Oops boys, take another guess,
I wear ruffles on my dress.

Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Do your ears hang high? Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when they're wet? Do they stiffen when they dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbor with a minimum of labor?
Do your ears hang high?

Take it out, take it out, Take it out, take it out,
Remove it."

" If you don't take it out, You'll wish you were dead.
Take it out, take it out, Take it out, take it out, Remove it."
I removed it, (sssssssssssssss) . . . Too late!

Who knows what I had for breakfast? Who knows what I had for tea?
Who knows what I had for supper? Just look out the window and see.

Clams, clams, clams, clams,
Clams & ice cream don't agree.

The other day, the other day,
I saw a bear, I saw a bear,
A great big bear, a great big bear,
Away out there, away out there.
The other day I saw a bear,
A great big bear away out there.
I looked at him, I looked at him,
He looked at me, he looked at me,
I sized up him, I sized up him,
He sized up me, he sized up me,
I looked at him he looked at me,
I sized up him, he sized up me.
He said to me, he said to me,
Why don't you run, why don't you run,
I see you ain't, I see you ain't,
Got any gun, got any gun.
He said to me why don't you run,
I see you ain't got any gun.
And so I ran, and so I ran,
Away from there, away from there,
And right behind, and right behind,
Me was that bear, me was that bear
And so I ran away from there,
And right behind me was that bear.
Ahead of me, ahead of me,
I saw a tree, I saw a tree,
A great big tree, a great big tree,
Oh, goodness me, oh goodness me.
Ahead of me I saw a tree,
A great big tree, oh goodness me.
The nearest branch, the nearest branch,
Was ten feet up, was ten feet up
I'd have to jump, I'd have to jump,
And trust my luck, and trust my luck,
The nearest branch was ten feet up,
I'd have to jump & trust my luck.
And so I jumped, and so I jumped,
Into the air, into the air,
But I missed that branch,
But I missed that branch,
Away up there, Away up there.
And so I jumped into the air,
but I missed that branch away up there.
Now don't you fret, now don't you fret
Now don't you frown, now don't you frown
Cause I caught that branch,
cause I caught that branch
On the way back down,
on the way back down
Now don't you frown and don't you frown,
Cause I caught that branch
on the way back down.
This is the end, this is the end,
There ain't no more, there ain't no more,
Unless I see, unless I see,
That bear once more, that bear once more,
This is the end, there ain't no more, unless I see that bear once more.
The moral of, the moral of,
This story is, this story is,
Don't talk to bears, don't talk to bears,
If his name is grizz, if his name is grizz,
The moral of this story is,
don't talk to bears if his name is grizz.
