Behold the Lowly Centipede

Lyrics

Behold the lowly centipede
 He undulates and wiggles
 To form and poise, he pays no heed
 He oscillates and wriggles
 He wriggles high, he wriggles low
 He wriggles far and wide
 He wriggles in eye sockets
 Of ladies who have died
 He wriggles in the highest trees
 He wriggles in the deep
 He wriggles in the dainty ears
 Of ladies fast asleep
 Behold the lowly centipede
 He crawls hither and thither
 Of gold and guns he has no need
 He only needs to slither
 He slithers here, he slithers there
 Through country, field and town
 He slithers in the underwear
 Of ladies sitting down
 He slithers anywhere he likes
 Wherever passion leads
 He slithers into ladies
 And makes baby centipedes
