Also known as \"The Hearse Song,\" or by its first line \"The Worms Crawl in and the Worms Crawl Out,\" its most popular modern use is as a fun song to sing at Halloween. The song has been sung by children in films to create an eerie vibe, and was recorded by Irish-British musical group The Pogues as \"Worms\" in 1989 on the album \"If I Should Fall from Grace with God.\" They certainly don't write kids' songs like this anymore! Four versions of the lyrics are written below.  \nVersion 1:  \nThe worms crawl in and the worms crawl out.  \nThe ones that go in are lean and thin.  \nThe ones that come out are fat and stout. Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out.  \nYour brains come tumbling down your snout. Be merry, my friends, be merry.  \nVersion 2:  \nThe worms crawl in,  \nThe worms crawl out, Into your stomach, And out your mouth.  \nThey eat your intestines,  \nThey scramble your heart. Now you feel like  \nYou're all apart.  \nThis is how  \nIt is to die You end up looking Like apple pie.  \nVersion 3:  \nDon't ever laugh when a hearse goes by, Or you may be the next to die.  \nThey wrap you up in a bloody sheet, And bury you under about six feet. All goes well for a couple of weeks, But then your coffin begins to leak.  \nThe worms crawl in and the worms crawl out,  \nThe worms play pinochle on your snout. Your stomach turns a slimy green,  \nAnd pus comes out of you like whipped cream.  \nYou lap it up with a piece of bread,  \nAnd that's what you eat when you are dead.  \nVersion 4:  \nThe worms crawl in and the worms crawl out.  \nThe ones that go in are lean and thin.  \nThe ones that come out are fat and stout. Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out.  \nYour brains come tumbling down your snout. They eat your eyes and they eat your nose. They eat the jelly between your toes.  \nBe merry, my friends, be merry.  \nFree K-12 Worksheets and More [www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)","cbCaipmplmOoRR9T","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipmplmOoRR9T","pdf",114158,"English","# The Hearse Song - Background\n# Versions of the Lyrics\n## Version 1\n## Version 2\n## Version 3\n## Version 4","[{\"question\":\"What is “The Hearse Song” also called?\",\"answer\":\"It is also known as “The Worm Song,” “The Worms Crawl in and the Worms Crawl Out,” and by its first-line phrase.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the song’s most popular modern use?\",\"answer\":\"It is commonly used as a fun song to sing at Halloween.\"},{\"question\":\"How many lyrical versions are provided in the text?\",\"answer\":\"Four versions of the lyrics are written below.\"}]","The Hearse Song - The Worms Crawl in and the Worms Crawl Out - Four Versions of the Lyrics | PDF",1792382459]
