Am F Am E
Am F Am E Am
[Verse 1]
Dont Amever laugh as a Fhearse goes by
For Amyou may be the Enext to die
They Amwrap you up in a Fbig white sheet
AmFrom your head down Eto your Amfeet
[Verse 2]
They Amput you in a Fbig black box
And Amcover you up with Edirt and rocks
And Amall goes well for aFbout a week
And Amthen your coffin beEgins to Amleak
[Verse 3]
And the Amworms crawl in, the Fworms crawl out
The Amworms play pinochle Eon your snout
They Ameat your eyes, they Feat your nose
They Ameat the jelly beEtween your Amtoes
[Chorus 1]
A Fbig green worm with Amrolling eyes
ECrawls in your stomach and Amout your eyes
Your Fstomach turns a Amslimy green
And Epuss comes out like Amwhipping cream
You Fspread it on a Amslice of bread
And Ethat's what you eat Amwhen you’re dead
[Verse 4]
And the Amworms crawl out and the Fworms crawl in
The Amworms that crawl in are Elean and thin
The Amones that crawl out are Ffat and stout
Your Ameyes fall in and your Ehair falls Amout
[Bridge]
Your Fbrain comes tumbling Edown your Amsnout
[Verse 4]
And the Amworms crawl in, the Fworms crawl out
They Amcrawl all over your Edirty snout
Your Amchest caves in and your Feyes pop out
Your Ambrain turns to EsauerkAmraut
[Chorus 2]
They inFvite their friends, and Amtheir friends too
They Eall come down to Amchew on you
And Fthis is what it Amis to die
I Ehope you had a Amnice goodbye
[Outro]
Did you Amever think as a Fhearse goes by
That Amyou might be the Enext to die
And your Ameyes fall out and your Fteeth decay
And Amthat is the end of a Eperfect... Amday

Dont ever laugh as a hearse goes by

For you may be the next to die

They wrap you up in a big white sheet

Am E Am

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

[Verse 3]

And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out

The worms play pinochle on your snout

Am F

They eat your eyes, they eat your nose

Am E Am

They eat the jelly between your toes

[Chorus 1]

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 4]

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 Am

Your eyes fall in and your hair falls out

[Bridge]

F E Am

Your brain comes tumbling down your snout

[Verse 4]

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 Am

Your brain turns to sauerkraut

[Chorus 2]

F Am

They invite their friends, and their friends too

E Am

They all come down to chew on you

F Am

And this is what it is to die

E Am

I hope you had a nice goodbye

[Outro]

Am F

Did you ever think as a hearse goes by

Am E

That you might 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
