funny, funny millipede
funny, funny millipede
I wonder, wonder if you please
for all your legs, do you have knees?
and for your feet, do you have toes?
goodness, gracious, does anyone know?

funny, funny millipede
you look like you’ve drunk too much mead
too much mead, oh yes indeed!
you look like you’ve drunk kegs and kegs
when you fumble, stumble o’er your own legs

funny, funny millipede
I wonder, wonder if you please
those antennae on your head?
they look all droopy, sad, and dead
yet, do they help you see instead?

funny, funny millipede
where do you rush with such great speed?
in such a hurry, how far will you go?
and what will you see far down below?
tell us please, we want to know
