The "childrens' song" regularly featured on PHC a couple of weeks ago was
the one about the worms crawling in and out, etc.  It was a longer version 
than I learned in my impoverished childhood.  Trouble is, I can't recall
the song in its entirety now (getting old, I guess).  Can anyone fill in
the missing parts?  (or even add some that weren't there on the show but
all the kids in your neighborhood knew)
What I recall went like this:

Do you ever think when the hearse drives by
that you may be-e the next to die?
They'll wrap you up in a big, white sheet
and bury you down about six feet deep
And all goes well for about a week
but then your coffin begins to leak....
<a couple of lines here maybe?>
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
the worms play pinochle on your snout.
They crawl in thin, they crawl out fat,
<arrghh.  Long-term effects on ...  on ... hmmmm)

Thanks in advance,
Nemo
