Yes, I have heard "We Are The Worms"; WRIF-FM in Detroit has been playing
it for about 6 weeks now.  According to them, it was written by some guy
in Lansing, MI.  Anyway, here is a stab at the lyrics (from memory);
  
There comes a time 
When the rain begins to fall
And the worms come out of the ground
There are people walking 
So be sure to watch your step
Or your feet may make a squishy sound
  (1st chorus)
We are the worms
Out on the sidewalk
We are the ones who make a squishy mess
So watch where you walk
It's a chance we're taking 
Coming from our homes underground
But we're sure to get a better tan, just you and me
  
When you're walking 'round, keep your eyes out on the street
If you don't look out, you'll have worms under your feet 
Well-Well-Well-Well (Cyndi Lauper worm)
We realize that the sun is gonna come
And we'll shrivel like beef jerkey from the heat
   (2nd chorus)
We are the worms
Out on the pavement
And when we hear a squish we turn to see where Cousin Dave went
It's a stance we're taking 
'Cause worms are people too
And we sure don't want a better look at your big shoe
   (Repeat of 1st chorus)
   (Repeat of 2nd chorus-Bob Dylan style)
   (Repeat of 1st chorus-fade)
