Nobody Loves Me
Nobody loves me, everybody hates me.
Think I'll eat some worms.
Big ones, little ones, ishy, gishy, goo ones,
Ones that squiggle and squirm.
First one's greasy -- goes down easy
Second one sticks to your tongue.
Third one's custard, fourth one's mustard
Fifth one tries to run.
First you cut the heads off
Then you suck the juice out
Then you throw the skins away.
No one knows how (name) can live on worms three times a day.

Children Song -- Miss Lulu
Miss Lulu had a baby
She named him Tiny Tim,
She put him in the bath tub,
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water,
He ate up all the soap,
Miss Lulu called the doctor
And the doctor called the nurse,
And the nurse called the lady with the alligator purse.
He didn't want the doctor
He didn't want the nurse
He didn't want the lady with the alligator purse.

Song and Gestures
Eensy weensy spider went up the water spout (thumb and fore finger of each hand are used to climb) down came the rain and washed the spider out (both hands come floating down) out came the sun (hands form a circle around the head) and dried up all the rain and the eensy weensy spider went up the spout again (again use the thumb and fore finger of each hand to climb).
In kindergarten I learned the song Eensy Weensy Spider and the actions to it.

The Werewolf's Hole
I stuck my head in a werewolf's hole,
And a werewolf set upon my soul.
Take it out, take it out, remove it.
I wouldn't take it out so the werewolf said,
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you were dead,
Take it out, take it out." Chop--
I removed it without an ear.
