Worm Song (Остров Королевы)

O I knew a worm who turned to his tail,
an' this is wot he said,
I wish that you'd stop followin' me,
as though we both were wed.

Said the tail to the head stop pullin' me,
'cos I've no wish to go,
besides, I think yore really a tail,
an' I'm the head you know!

This caused the worm some great concern,
he said, I'm sure yore wrong,
an' they both began to bicker about,
to whom did the stomach belong?

Both tempers did boil, while disputin' a coil,
they fell into an awful fight,
they wriggled an' squirmed an' waggled an' turned,
for worms as ye know can't bite.

Then a big blackbird, who'd heard every word,
came flutterin' out of a tree,
I'll oblige ye both, the blackbird quoth,
an' he ate them both for tea.

So that was that, he settled their spat,
an' I'll bid ye all good day,
for it's head to tails when reasonin' fails,
a worm should crawl away!
