Herman the Worm 

I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum 
(chew, chew, chew, chew) 
Playin' with my yo-yo, wee-oo! wee-oo! 
When along came Herman the worm 
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a tiny worm) 
And I said: "Herman? What happened?" 
"I ate my Mother." 

I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum 
(chew, chew, chew, chew) 
Playin' with my yo-yo, wee-oo! wee-oo! 
When along came Herman the worm 
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a little bit bigger worm) 
And I said: "Herman? What happened?" 
"I ate my Father." 

I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum 
(chew, chew, chew, chew) 
Playin' with my yo-yo, wee-oo! wee-oo! 
When along came Herman the worm 
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a bigger worm) 
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
"I ate my Brother." 

I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum 
(chew, chew, chew, chew) 
Playin' with my yo-yo, wee-oo! wee-oo! 
When along came Herman the worm 
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a bigger worm) 
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
"I ate my Sister."

I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum 
(chew, chew, chew, chew) 
Playin' with my yo-yo, wee-oo! wee-oo! 
When along came Herman the worm 
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a really big worm) 
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
"I ate my Dog." 

I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum 
(chew, chew, chew, chew) 
Playin' with my yo-yo, wee-oo! wee-oo! 
When along came Herman the worm 
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring for a tiny worm again)
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
"I burped."
