Earthworm Dance

By Matt Loosigian & Nancy Schimmel

in Hungry for the Sun by Matt Loosigian

Lyrics

Well the earthworms dance with a wiggle and a bend
Soil goes in the front and comes out the other end
It comes out the other end and it’s better for the trip
You know the earthworms dance with a slide, slip, slip

It’s the earthworm dance wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
It’s the earthworm dance. Get down
It’s the earthworm dance wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
It’s the earthworm dance. Get down

Well the earth worms dance with a slip, slide, slide
They tunnel through the soil, let the air up inside
You know it’s good for the roots and it’s good for the shoots
And it’s good for all the people who eat the fruits

You know a worm looks simple just a head and a tail
But without the worms all the farms would fail
So let’s hear it for the earthworms all in a coil
You know their dance is deep

Their dance is deep
Their dance is deep
And they elevate the soil

You know earthworms dance with glide and a curve
Worms never get the credit they deserve
You gotta get yourself on best of terms
So come on everybody, let’s dance with the worms
