Paragraph Lyric
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 wrigles 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
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 wrigles 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
