Nobody loves me.. I'm gonna go eat worms!

Nobody loves me
Everybody hates me
I'm gonna go eat worms!

Long Slim Slimy ones
Short fat juicy ones
See how they wriggle and squirm!

First I cut the heads off
Then I suck the juice out
Throw their skins away
You should see how well I thrive
On worms three times a day!
