Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She's here Mr. Johnson

Okay, thank you very much

Granny, they're expecting you

You're a little late, so, come right this way, step right in, okay?

What? Say it now, say it now, yes (Yes)

Me and the Ohio Players are gonna tell you about a worm

He's the funkiest worm in the world

Okay, sing it, fellas

[Verse 2]

Theres' a worm in the ground, yes there is (That's right, that's right)

He lives six feet down (Six feet down)

He only comes around (When he wants to get down)

But when he comes out of his hole he sounds something like this

[Verse 3]

Ooh, that's funky, that's funky

Like nine cans of shaving powder, that's funky

Come on with it again, fellas, come on with it

In a foreign land, yeah, yeah (Sing it)

He plays in a band (Plays in a band)

He plays guitar without any hands, pretty good, I might add, yeah

When he grabs his guitar and starts to pluck

Everybody wants to get up and dance

[Verse 4]

Ah, get it baby

I'm his manager, heh heh, yeah

Gonna make a million dollars

I get it all, too, he can't spend it

Don't stop now, honey, get down

That's it, that's it

Don't, don't fight the feeling, don't fight it

Okay, that's enough, get outta here

Here it goes people, listen to this, this is really funky, get outta here

Goin' back in his hole, just the same way he came out

Do we get paid for this? I wanna know

(Yes, yes of course)

We do? Okay, okay, alright

(Mhm, yes, you're welcome)
