Herman the Worm
I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum
(chew, chew, chew, chew)
Playin' with my yo-yo, doo-wop! Doo-wop!
And along came Herman the worm (worm finger movements)
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a tiny worm)
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
“I ate a bug."
I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum
(chew, chew, chew, chew)
Playin' with my yo-yo, doo-wop! Doo-wop!
And along came Herman the worm (worm finger movements)
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a little bit bigger worm)
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
“I ate a cat."
I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum
(chew, chew, chew, chew)
Playin' with my yo-yo, doo-wop! Doo-wop!
And along came Herman the worm (worm finger movements)
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a bigger worm)
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
"I ate a dog."
I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum
(chew, chew, chew, chew)
Playin' with my yo-yo, doo-wop! Doo-wop!
And along came Herman the worm (worm finger movements)
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a bigger worm)
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
"I ate a car."
I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum
(chew, chew, chew, chew)
Playin' with my yo-yo, doo-wop! Doo-wop!
And along came Herman the worm (worm finger movements)
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring a really big worm)
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
"I ate a whale."
I was sittin' on my fencepost, chewing my bubblegum
(chew, chew, chew, chew)
Playin' with my yo-yo, doo-wop! Doo-wop!
And along came Herman the worm (worm finger movements)
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring for a tiny worm again)
And I said: "Herman? What happened?"
"I burped."
