Meltin's Worm Lyrics & Tabs by The Boo Radleys
Meltin's Worm
guitar chords lyrics
Have you heard of Meltin's worm?
It crawled right into his house.
The dividends of grubby hands
And putting them into your mouth.
It set up shop, and would not stop
Gorging whatever Meltin could eat.
Its exquisite taste, it went to waste
On a diet consisting of sweets.
Keep away, keep away, keep away
Meltin's worm (2x)
The doctor came and laid the blame
On Meltin's nails, he was biting
He made demands they didn't understand
Because they couldn't read his writing
It grew and grew, and it knew
He made demands they didn't understand
Because they couldn't read his writing
It grew and grew, and it knew
That time was on its side
It got such a size, you could see its eyes
When Meltin opened his wide
Keep away, keep away, keep away
Meltin's worm (2x)
And there's just one thing it cares about
(Grow, grow, grow)
Knitting sweaters for the army
(Keep me always)
Checking numbers off the telly
(Keep me always)
Making plans with Mr. Felstead
(Keep me always)
It does it no good, it just needs more food
Have you heard of Meltin's worm?
It finally killed him to death.
Now his Ma feeds it, the uniform fits
So she sends it to school instead.
(I will always be inside)
Keep away, keep away, keep away
Meltin's worm
(Feed the worm)
