[Chorus]
This is the story, and it's all about a worm named Sherm
Sherm was a worm who liked to squirm
He kept himself clean so you’ll never find a germ on Sherm
[Verse 1]
Sherm liked to play in the dirt while the hose would squirt
He had a friend named Bert who liked to flirt
Bert's nose was pert,' and he always got dessert on his shirt
[Verse 2]
Then one spring day in the month of May
Three young boys named Jimmy and Froggy and Ray
They came around to dig in the dirt and clay
They found Bert and Sherm, and they carried them away
[Verse 3]
Well, now the three young boys took their poles to the fishin’ hole They put Sherm and Bert in a can of dirt
Those worms were specin' all about how the fishin' hook was gonna hurt
[Verse 4]
Sherm the worm said, "Man, we really need a plan."
Burt said, "Yes, I must confess we a gotta do our best to get up outta this mess."
[Verse 5]
But when the sun got so hot, it started to bake
It made Bert and Sherm shimmy and shake
The can rolled of a rock and into the lake
And Sherm and Burt went down
[Interlude]
Into the murky green depths of the lake. These two young worms in the prime of their life seemed destined to face imminent peril. But then suddenly, a Mallard Duck who had been diving for minnows caught Bert and Sherm in her wing and carried them up to the surface. They swam to the water's edge. They crawled home, tired but safe and secure
[Chorus]
This is the story and it's all about a worm named Sherm
Sherm was a worm who liked to squirm
He kept himself clean so you'll never find a germ on Sherm
[Outro]
Sherm the worm, he liked to squirm
Sherm the worm, he loved to squirm
This is the story, and it's all about a worm named Sherm
Sherm was a worm who liked to squirm
He kept himself clean so you’ll never find a germ on Sherm
[Verse 1]
Sherm liked to play in the dirt while the hose would squirt
He had a friend named Bert who liked to flirt
Bert's nose was pert,' and he always got dessert on his shirt
