Lyrics
Chorus
sittin’ on a fence post
chewin’ my bubble gum
(smack-smack-smack-smack)
playin’ with my yo-yo
(woo-woo)
When along came Hermie The Wormie
and he was this big.
And I said
“Hermie, what happened?”
He said” I ate my father”.
Sing chorus
When along came Hermie the Wormie
and he was this big.
And I said
“Hermie, what happened”
He said “I ate my mother”
Sing chorus
When along came Hermie the Wormie
and he was this big.
And I said
“Hermie, what happened”
He said”I ate my brother”
Sing chorus
When along came Hermie the Wormie
and he was this big.
And I said
“Hermie, what happened”
He said”I ate my sister”
Sing chorus
When along came Hermie the Wormie
and he was this big.
And I said
“Hermie,what happened”
He said “I burped”!
Actions
When you say”chewing my bubble gum” you act like you’re chewing with the mouth open and make smacking noises.While saying “playing with my yo-yo” you act like you’re playing with a yo-yo and say woo woo(supposed to sound like a train whistle) Each time you say “and he was this big”-you hold your hands like you’re showing how big a fish is-each time getting bigger until he burps at the end and then it would be real small again.
The chorus you sing and the verses you more or less say.
