Sittin’ on a fence post chomping on my gum
( chomp chomp chomp)
Playing with my yo yo
When along came Herman the worm
And he was THIS big
And I said ” Herman WHAT happened?”
And he said ” I ate my sister! ”
The next 3 verses substitute in brother, mother and father.
The final verse is as follows:
Sittin’ on a fence post chomping on my gum
(chomp chomp chomp)
Playing with my yo yo
woo woo
When along came Herman the worm
And he was this tiny
And I said ” Herman what happened?”
And he said ” I burped.”

This is a really cute song! I’ve heard it sang at camps before, but instead of “I ate my brother, sister, mother, father,” they would say I had one, two, three, four, five too many cokes!” Still sticking with “I burped” at the end. Personally, I like the version I heard previously a little better, because, let’s face it, yours is a bit morbid! [:
Peace.
