Sittin' on my fencepost, cheweing my bubblegum
(chew, chew, chew, chew)
Playin' with my yo-yo, wee-oo! wee-oo!
When along came Herman the worm
And he was this big (make a motion as if measuring
a tiny worm)
And I said: “Herman? What happened?”
“I ate my Mother.”

(repeat verse, with worm action getting larger and larger
for each of the following lines:)

“I ate my Father.”
“I ate my Brother.”
“I ate my Sister.”
“I ate my Dog.”

(repeat verse one last time, with a tiny worm action for:)
“I burped.”
