Version by David Thurlow


Nobody likes me everybody hates me
I think I’ll go eat worms
Long ones, short ones, fat ones skinny ones,
Ones that squiggle and squirm
Bite their heads off suck their guts out throw their skins away
Nobody knows that I eat worms, 3 times a day

Got the wiggle wiggle, got the wiggle hey
Got the wiggle wiggle
Got the wiggle wiggle, got the wiggle hey

Got the wiggle wiggle

Wait a minute, I don't feel good
I ate more worms than I probably should
I've got friends but we sometimes fight
And I know tomorrow we make it right
I know that they like me, not everyone hates me
So maybe I shouldn't eat worms
But it feels so good to sing this song
It makes me feel better even though it's wrong so

​Nobody likes me everybody hates me
I think I’ll go eat worms
Long ones, short ones, fat ones skinny ones,
Ones that squiggle and squirm
Bite their heads off suck their guts out throw their skins away
Nobody knows that I eat worms, 3 times a day

Got the wiggle wiggle, got the wiggle hey
Got the wiggle wiggle
Got the wiggle wiggle, got the wiggle hey

Got the wiggle wiggle

About the Song

The exact origin of the "Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me" song is a little murky. There's no record of a single songwriter or specific date it came about. Here's what we do know:

  • Folklore: It seems to be a piece of children's folklore that's been passed down orally through generations. There are references to it existing as early as the 1860s
  • Lyrics Variations: The lyrics can vary slightly, with some versions mentioning the size and texture of the worms or the way they're eaten.
  • Function: It's a way for children to express feelings of loneliness or frustration in a humorous and somewhat dramatic way. The idea of eating worms is obviously unrealistic, making it a silly outlet for negative emotions.
  • Modern Adaptations: The song continues to be relevant today. There are children's book versions and even videos with animated characters acting out the song.

Nobody loves me everybody hates me
I'm going into the garden to eat worms.
Long thick slimy ones. Short fat sticky ones.
Watch them wiggle and squirm.

First you bite their heads off. Then you squeeze their guts out. Watch them wiggle and squirm. Nobody loves me, everybody hates me. I'm going into the garden to eat worms

We love this version posted by LOMION

Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me.
I think I'll eat some worms!
Short fat juicy worms,
Long slim slimy worms,
Fat fuzzy wuzzy wuzzy worms!

First you bite the heads off,
Then you suck the guts out,
Then you throw the rest away.
Short fat juicy worms,
Long slim slimy worms,
Fat fuzzy wuzzy wuzzy worms!

Down goes the first one,
Down goes the second one,
Down go all of them worms.
Short fat juicy worms,
Long slim slimy worms,
Fat fuzzy wuzzy wuzzy worms!

Everybody likes me,
Nobody hates me.
Why did I eat those worms?

Up come all of them worms.
Short fat juicy worms,
Long slim slimy worms,
Fat fuzzy wuzzy wuzzy worms!

Lyrics to Captain Obvious by David Thurlow

A funny looking potato wearing a cape standing on top of the world with the text We love Captain Obvious! | Funny song for kids by David Thurlow
Look there
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Captain Obvious
 
Trees have leaves
Birds can fly
Legs have knees
Rocks don’t cry
Thanks Captain Obvious
 
Captain Obvious saves the world
Captain Obvious helps every boy and girl
Captain Obvious saves the day
He helps you out when you don’t know what to say
 
Kids like food
One plus one equals two
Water is good
Plastic is not wood
Thanks Captain Obvious
 
Captain Obvious saves the world
Captain Obvious helps every boy and girl
Captain Obvious saves the day
He helps you out when you don’t know what to say
 
We love Captain Obvious

0 Comments

 

Info About the Song

Australia has some of the strangest and unique animals on earth. The song Weird Australian Animals was written based on the fun facts found in the YouTube video from Curiosity Capers. Here’s a quick summary of the facts that you’ll learn about in both the video above and the song. 
  1. Thorny Devil: This spiky reptile blends into deserts, eats ants, and collects morning dew with its thorns.
  2. Platypus: This egg-laying mammal has a duckbill for finding food with electroreceptors and venomous spurs.
  3. Short-beaked Echidna: Another monotreme, this mammal lays eggs and uses its long snout to eat ants and termites. It curls into a ball for protection.
  4. Tasmanian Devil: This fierce marsupial has a bad odor and eats anything, including roadkill and other carnivores' prey.
  5. Emu: The second tallest bird, emus are flightless with tiny wings but can run fast and swim. They have extra eyelids for dusty environments and can drink for 10 minutes straight.

We hope you enjoy using these videos and songs in the classroom or at home to learn all about the weird and wonderful animals that you can find in Australia.

Song Lyrics

Hi, I’m a Thorny Devil I might sound bad, but I’m not evil.
I’ve got camouflage all over my skin, I live in the desert where I blend in
I got pointy thorns all over my back, which help me survive, when others attack
I’m one of a kind, I’m really unique, I love to eat ants, they’re a tasty treat
I’m a platypus, I’ve got good looks, and if you’ve read your history books
People once believed, I wasn’t real. I’m an egg-laying mammal, with a duck bill
A beaver’s tail, and otters feet, I’m an animal you wanna meet
But don’t get too close! I got venomous spurs, which can be deadly to small critters
We are weird Australian Animals
We are weird Australian Animals
We are weird Australian Animals
​We are weird Australian Animals

G’day everyone, I’m an echidna, I also eat ants and I’m a good digger
My claws at the front, and feet at the back are very handy for digging up snacks
I’m a monotreme, like my platypus friend, which means we’re mammals, who lay eggs
And when I’m scared you might only see my spiny spikes protecting me
And we’re the second tallest birds alive, our wings are small and we cannot fly
Our emu legs, give powerful kicks and help us run, really quick
We eat insects, fruit, and plants and drink lots of water when we get the chance
With all that dirt and all that dust our see through eyelids are a must
We are weird Australian Animals
We are weird Australian Animals
We are weird Australian Animals
​We are weird Australian Animals

Woah! What’s that stink? Oh, it’s me. What did you think!
I’m a little bit crazy, with bad hygiene, but I’m an animal, so don’t blame me
I’ll eat anything, anywhere, I’m a Tasmanian Devil yeah!
I eat animals, dead or alive, I love to scream and get in fights

We are weird Australian Animals
We are weird Australian Animals
We are weird Australian Animals
​We are weird Australian Animals

Info About the Saltwater Crocodiles

A saltwater crocodile with its jaw wide openSaltwater Crocodiles | Educational song by Caper Kids Music
The saltwater crocodile, the world's biggest reptile, is a sneaky and powerful predator. They can hold their breath underwater for hours and have the strongest bite of any animal. They use the sun to warm their bodies and build nests that control the temperature of their eggs, which decides if the hatchling will be male or female. While mostly found in saltwater areas, they can also be found in freshwater habitats. Be cautious around crocodile territory and follow safety warnings to avoid these impressive yet dangerous creatures.

Listen to the song by Caper Kids Music to learn more about this ancient reptile. It's the perfect song for children who are learning about saltwater crocodiles in the classroom or at home.

Lyrics for the Educational Song, Saltwater Crocodiles

I am a saltwater crocodile sneaking through the water gonna catch myself a meal
I can stay well hidden for about 8 hours with my nostrils poking out to breath

Snap Snap attack and watch your back for saltwater crocodiles with 66 big sharp teeth
Snap Snap attack and watch your back for saltwater crocodiles they crush food instantly 

Birds, fish, turtles, they are all on the menu at the saltwater croc cafe
And when I catch my dinner I do a death roll in the water so my food can’t get away
Snap Snap attack and watch your back for saltwater crocodiles with 66 big sharp teeth
Snap Snap attack and watch your back for saltwater crocodiles they crush food instantly 

​I’m a cold blooded reptile so I use the sun’s ray to heat the thick tough scales on me
​And if I get a little hot then I cool down in the water or find some shade under a tree

Snap Snap attack and watch your back for saltwater crocodiles with 66 big sharp teeth
Snap Snap attack and watch your back for saltwater crocodiles they crush food instantly 
Snap Snap attack and watch your back for saltwater crocodiles with 66 big sharp teeth
Snap Snap attack and watch your back for saltwater crocodiles they crush food instantly

Song Lyrics for Hey Cassowary

Hey Cassowary O Cassowary you so look nice but you are kind of scary.
Hey Cassowary O Cassowary you so look nice but you are kind of scary
Out in the rainforest somewhere near a beach is a bird, scratching round with dinosaur like feet
In Australia’s wet tropics, or Papua New Guinea, there’s a strong and fearsome bird called a cassowary
Hey Cassowary O Cassowary you so look nice but you are kind of scary.
Hey Cassowary O Cassowary you so look nice but you are kind of scary

Standing tall on two long legs, the cassowary’s stronger than its emu friends
But it is slightly shorter than its emu mates, it’s 1.8 metres tall taking second place
Don’t be mistaken, bout this ancient bird, their legs are strong, claws are sharp and kicks can really hurt
With one big kick, this animal can kill, crush your bones, cut you up, or peck you like a drill

Hey Cassowary O Cassowary you so look nice but you are kind of scary
Hey Cassowary O Cassowary you so look nice but you are kind of scary 
For 60 million years this bird has been alive, eating fruits, eating plants and insects that it finds
And sometimes when it’s hungry and there’s nothing else to it, it eats its own fruity poo as a little treat
Hey Cassowary O Cassowary you so look nice but you are kind of scary
Hey Cassowary O Cassowary you so look nice but you are kind of scary
​Look nice but you are kind of scary

Quick, get the binoculars!
Look straight up, in the tree
There's a koala, looking at me
Be very quiet, get the phone
Call the family, back at home
Take a picture, have a look
Zoom in closer, that looks good
Remember that, it's not a bear
It's just a koala up there
Our fluffy marsupial friend​

Lyrics to the Caper Kids Music Version

One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a fish alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then I let it go again
Why did you let it go? Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite? This little finger on my right

One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a fish alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then I let it go again
Why did you let it go? Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite? This little finger on my right

Don’t go fishing it’s a dangerous sport
If you use your fingers you might get caught
By a big bad fish, with big bad teeth
So make sure you fish carefully

One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a fish alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then I let it go again
Why did you let it go? Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite? This little finger on my right

Don’t go fishing it’s a dangerous sport
If you use your fingers you might get caught
By a big bad fish, with big bad teeth
So make sure you fish carefully

Info About the Song Quokka This Quokka That

Let’s be honest; Quokkas are just plain adorable. The song Quokka This Quokka That aims to capture some of the fun and playful characteristics of the Quokka. It may not be be the most educational song from Caper Kids Music but it’s a whole lot of fun. Here are some quick facts that you’ll find in the Curiosity Capers video below
  • Quokkas are known for their happy faces and love to take selfies.
  • They are found in a small coastal area of Western Australia, with Rottnest Island being their most famous habitat.
  • Rottnest Island was named "Rat's Nest Island" by a Dutch explorer who mistook quokkas for giant rats.
  • Mainland quokkas face dangers from wild predators like foxes and feral cats.
  • Rottnest Island's isolation protects quokkas and their population thrives there.
  • Quokkas are small wallabies, not rats, and are quite social and curious.
  • While friendly, they are wild animals and should not be threatened.
  • Habitat loss and human interaction pose threats to quokkas on Rottnest Island.
  • Human food is unhealthy for quokkas, especially salty food that dehydrates them.
  • ​Quokkas can survive for a month without water due to their plant-based diet and fat stores in their tails. (Their smile might not be from happiness, but let's not dwell on that!)

Hey Diddle Diddle

2/29/2024

The history of "Hey Diddle Diddle" is a bit of a mystery! Here's what we know:

  • Ancient Origins? Some theories suggest the rhyme could be very old, possibly dating back to the Middle Ages (think knights and castles!). This is because the image of a cat playing a fiddle appears in artwork from that time.
  • Shakespearean Mention: The phrase "Hey Diddle Diddle" itself appears in some of William Shakespeare's plays from the 16th century, but it wasn't used as part of a nursery rhyme yet.
  • First Published Version: The first version closest to the rhyme we know today popped up in 1765, printed in a collection called "Mother Goose's Melodies."
  • Musical Mystery: The melody we sing today wasn't documented until 1870 by a composer who collected nursery rhymes.
  • Meaning Unknown: No one knows for sure what the rhyme means! There are theories that connect it to everything from constellations to historical figures, but none are proven.
​
So, "Hey Diddle Diddle" might be much older than we think, but the exact details of its origin are lost to time. That doesn't stop it from being a fun and catchy rhyme to share with children!

Traditional Lyrics

Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little boy laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Lyrics to Caper Kids Music Version

​Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
 
It’s a crazy fairy tale about the moon
with a cat and a fiddle and a little silver spoon
That ran away with a dish
It all happened so soon
And a dog that laughed it’s strange but true
 
It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song
 
They chased through the clouds, a whirlwind of fur, The cat with his fiddle, the spoon in a blur. The dog’s belly aching from laughter's delight, sung out to the stars, what a glorious sight.
 
They climbed on a comet, its tail a bright streak, they flew past the planets at a blistering speed. The moon, a giant cheese, hung low in the sky, And the cat, with a grin, winked a mischievous eye.
 
It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song
 
He scraped on his fiddle, a jig full of glee, As the spoon, like a dancer, spun light on the sea. The dog, singing tunes, joined a cosmic ballet, A symphony of wonder, a celestial display.
 
It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song
 
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little boy laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

    About

    This is a collection of my favourite songs, rhymes, riddles and poems. Many of them I remember from my childhood and many of them I have discovered since then.

    I still sing many of these songs to this day, whether it is with my own children or the children that I teach at school. I find them a great means of stress relief both in and out of the classroom.

    Most of these songs should be in the public domain. You will also find that there are multiple versions for each song or rhyme. Please feel free to share your variation, request some sheet music or inform me of any funny songs that should be added to the list..
