The Boo Radleys - Meltin's Worm lyrics

Have you heard of Meltin's worm? It crawled right into his house. The dividends of grubby hands And putting them into your mouth. It set up shop, and would not stop Gorging whatever Meltin could eat. Its exquisite taste, it went to waste On a diet consisting of sweets. Keep away, keep away, keep away Meltin's worm The doctor came and laid the blame On Meltin's nails, he was biting He made demands they didn't understand Because they couldn't read his writing It grew and grew, and it knew That time was on its side It got such a size, you could see its eyes When Meltin opened his wide Keep away, keep away, keep away Meltin's worm And there's just one thing it cares about (Grow, grow, grow) Knitting sweaters for the army (Keep me always) Checking numbers off the telly (Keep me always) Making plans with Mr. Felstead (Keep me always) It does it no good, it just needs more food Have you heard of Meltin's worm? It finally k**ed him to d**h. Now his Ma feeds it, the uniform fits So she sends it to school instead. (I will always be inside) Keep away, keep away, keep away Meltin's worm (Feed the worm)
