GLORIOUS WORMS

1.  The turtles were piled on a log in the sun

     ‘Cause that’s what turtles like to do for fun

     One says loudly, “I’d like something to eat.”

     And they all sang together of their favorite treat

CHORUS: Worms, worms, glorious worms

                 Love to watch them wiggle and squirm

                 If I had my way, I’d eat ‘em night and day

                 Glorious, glorious, glorious, glorious, glorious, glorious worms

2.  Sindee the turtle spoke up with glee

     I’ll start a worm farm by the old rose tree

     “That’s too much work. That won’t be fun.

      We’d rather lie here in the sun.” Singing…

3.  So Sindee worked and Sindee toiled

     Moving rocks and tilling the soil

     And she gathered up her worms, 1, 2, 3

     And put them in her farm by the old rose tree

4.  She’d pick up a worm in her little turtle paw

     And tickle their tummy with her little turtle claw

     And they’d wiggle and giggle ‘neath the old rose tree

     For Sindee made friends and sang happily

CHORUS: Worms, worms, glorious worms

                 Love to watch them wiggle and squirm

                 If I had my way, I’d do nothing but play

                 Glorious, glorious, glorious, glorious, glorious, glorious worms

5.  Sindee noticed the rose tree with roses galore

     It was blooming like never bloomed before

     The worms must make this ground fertile

     Said the smart little Sindee the turtle

6.  Now the turtles and the worms live happily

     Under the shade of the old rose tree

     For it’s better to have friendly company

     Than to put your friends in a recipe
