Funky Worm Lyrics

[Secretary]
She's here, Mr. Johnson
[Morrison]
OK, thank you very much
Granny, they're expecting you
You're a little late, so come right this way
Step right in, OK?
[Granny]
What? Say it now?
[Morrison]
Yes
[Granny]
Say it now?
[Morrison]
Uh-huh
[Granny]
Yeah
Me and the Ohio Players gonna tell you about a worm
He's the funkiest worm in the world
OK, sing it fellas

[Morrison]
Theres' a worm in the ground, yes there is
[Granny]
Thats right, that's right
[Morrison]
He lives six feet down
[Granny]
Six feet down
[Morrison]
He only comes around
[Granny]
When he wants to get down
But when he comes out of his hole
He sounds something like this

[Granny]
Oh that's funky, that's funky
Like nine cans of shaving powder, that's funky
Come on with it again, fellas
Come on with it

[Morrison]
In a foreign land, yeah, yeah
[Granny]
Sing it
[Morrison]
He plays in a band
[Granny]
Plays in the band
[Morrison]
Plays guitar without any hands
Pretty good, I might add
[Granny]
Yeah, when he grabs his guitar and starts to pluck
Everybody wants to get up and dance

[Granny]
Aww, get it baby
I'm his manager, yeah
Gonna make a million dollars
I get it all, too, he can't spend it
Don't stop now, honey, get down
That's it, that's it
Don't, don't, don't fight the feeling. Don't fight it
OK, that's enough, get out of here
Here he goes people, listen to this
This is really funky
Get out of here
Goin' back in his hole, just the same way he came out
Do we get paid for this?

[Morrison]
Yes
[Granny]
I want to know
[Morrison]
Yes, of course
[Granny]
We do?
[Morrison]
M-hmm
[Granny]
OK
[Morrison]
Yes
[Granny]
OK, alright
[Morrison]
You're welcome
