The Hearse Song (The Worms Crawl In) - Harp Twins, Camille and Kennerly

Don't ever laugh as a hearse goes by For you may be the next to die They wrap you up in a big white sheet From your head down to your feet They put you in a big black box And cover you up with dirt and rocks And all goes well for about a week And then your coffin begins to leak And 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   There is something soft and green Puss comes out like whipping cream You spread it on a slice of bread And that’s what you eat when you're dead Your chest caves in, your eyes pop out Your brain turns to sauerkraut And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out The worms crawl over the dead man’s snout They eat your eyes, they eat your nose They eat the jelly between your toes   And the worms crawl out, the worms crawl in The worms that crawl in are lean and thin The ones that crawl out are fat and stout Your eyes fall in, your hair falls out They invite their friends, and their friends too They all come down to chew on you And 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   But at first you weren’t really gone, You could hear the mourning song. You yank the rope to ring the bell You call for God and you curse hell    So this is what it is to die,  I hope you had a nice goodbye Did you ever think as a hearse goes by That you might be the next to die?
