  • She's here Mr. Johnson
    Ok, thank you very much
    Granny, they're expecting you
    You're a little late so
    Come right this way, step right in, ok?
    Wait oh, say it now, say it now, ahem
    Me and the Ohio Players gonna tell you about a worm
    He's the funkiest worm in the world

    Ok, sing it, Clarence
    There's a worm in the ground, yes there is
    That's right
    He is six feet down
    Six feet down

    He only comes around
    When he wants to get down
    But when he comes out of his hole
    He sounds something like this

    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

    And through all the land, yeah
    Yeah
    He plays in a band
    Plays in a band

    He plays guitar without any hands
    Pretty good, I might add
    Yeah, when he grabs his guitar and starts to pluck
    Everybody wants to get up and dance

    Ah, get it baby
    I'm his manager, heh heh
    Gonna make a million dollars
    I get it all, till he can spend it
    Don't, don't, don't
    That's it, that's it
    Don't, don't, don't fight the feeling, don't fight it
    Ok that's enough, get outta here
    Here you go people, listen to this, this is really funky, get outta here
    Goin' back in his hole, just the same way he came out
    Do we get paid for this? I wanna know
    Yes, yes of course
    We do? Ok, ok, alright
    You're welcome Writer/s: Clarence Satchell, Gregory Webster, Leroy Bonner, Marshall Jones, Ralph Middlebrooks, Walter Morrison
