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)
