Originally written as a dedication to Edward Gorey, we also wrote it in some broken key that made it endlessly difficult to work on. A beautiful and difficult anomaly, like the band itself.

lyrics

Bending baby watches with
Its beady eyes of prey
Hoping and imploring to
Get its fill that day

its gaping maw and dripping teeth
Are always on the ready
Why!
Just the other day,
He took a finger tip from Neddy
for:

He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy!
He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy!
He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy!

Little Tommy's known for his
Clatter and his clamor
A leg that's made of magnets
And an arm that is a hammer

When he's not attracting bits
He's pounding them to pieces
Words cannot describe the things
Found within his feces
for:
He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy!
He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy!
He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy!
