Just Worms

(we've all had them)

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

my arse is itching and i'm eating like a horse

in light of the symptoms it's worms of course

so i said to the chemist Combantrim please

he looked at me like i had a contagious disease

it's just worms i said as i scratched my ring

just worms in my gut it don't mean a thing

it's just worms

...

just worms

the slimy little freeloader aint no friend of mine

got an eight foot tapeworm pretending to be an intestine

parasitic hitchhikers residing in my colon

that's why i'm always hungry that why my tummy's swollen

it's just worms i said as i scratched my ring

just worms in my gut it don't mean a thing

it's just worms

...

just worms

there's a tingle in my rectum and a feeling in my gut

just felt a little wormy head wriggle out of my butt

and still my arse is itchy and that's no word of a lie

i just swallowed a pack of worming tabs one of us is going to die

it's just worms i said as i scratched my ring

just worms in my gut it don't mean a thing

it's just worms

...

just worms

...
