We’ve got 200 worms and they live in our compost! The original version of this song introduced you to a couple dozen of our invertebrate friends. In the brand new “All The Worms Remix” of the song you’ll get to know each and every worm in the pile. Yes, all 200! Settle in because this one is a doozy.

Who is down for 17 and a half minute KOO KOO songs?
lyrics
I’ve got 200 worms and they live in my compost, live in my compost.
200 worms and they live in my compost. These are the worms that I love the most.
Yo Kyle - it’s been a little while
You’re the type of worm who is making me smile.
Annabelle, what a smartie
Steady working on your PHD
Miss Kelly girl you’re always stylin
When you squirm by all the others are willin’
Oh shoot, Big Derrick in the house!
despite his size he’s as quiet as a mouse
Me and Will go way back like beep beep
He’s quite tight with the cash cheap cheap
Tiffany so quick, if there’s a race its on
First place finishing the worm marathon
That’s Frank his guitar skills are in demand
Catch him onstage Led Zeppelin cover band
Hey Doug, you’re straight up lazy
Head in the clouds got us calling you spacey
Breakdancing is good for morale
Shout out “bust a move” and Avery shall
Hi Natasha, you’re the best chef for real
Im loving what you’re doing with that old banana peel
Got a real shy guy in Bert
Every hour of every day head in the dirt
Shenise is ready for a little pop quiz
Brain full of facts she’s a trivia whiz
This one’s got asthma and his name is Taylor
Be a pal for a moment and hold his inhaler
Tim’s a hula hoop star, so many fans
What a skilled worm, look ma no hands!
Kevin speaks quick his motor mouth is vast
flapping those lips and talking all fast
Hey Karl, a friend till the end
Writing you an email I think ill hit send
Patricia we go way, way back
She builds model cars for a model racetrack
Check out Kel living in Minnesota
I heard a rumor that you dig orange soda
This little worm her name is Sherry
Spreading that joy make the world so merry
Talia has plants and she loves them
growing up tall she’s a real green thumb
Kim is super paid, getting paper
office on the top floor of a sky scraper
When he’s in the pool, he ain’t a slow poke
Serge is a worm doing the backstroke
Just like a dog Jimmy loves fetches
But not before thirty minutes of stretches
Calling you Diggy cuz you dig dig dig
More dirt in your mouth what a pig pig pig
42nd longest worm in the pile that's Tre
Trying to be 41st by the end of the day
Poor Corrie, lost her nose when she was eight
These days she thinks compost smells great
Sophia! Wouldn’t wanna be ya
JK, I would, you’re a stone cold diva
Kellen has the worst dang farts around
I suggest you get to stepping when you hear that sound
Which of these worms has a stamp collection?
Oh thats Ash and her postage affection
Charlie sees it all yeah he’s got three eyes
such a hard worker yeah he really TRI’s
One worm speaks english, that’s Hakeem
hear his voice you’ll believe its a dream
Carol is a mason, a real bricklayer
stacking those stones up in the air
Big family Dan, many sisters and brothers
they share a bed, worms under the covers
Dewana keeps it fake, she can make you a wig
dont have to be a worm to say its something you dig
Introvert Devin, to himself he keeps
But he’ll talk your ear off if you bring up jeeps
Mason is fly, no-one fresher
And he takes meds for high blood pressure
We got a worm in here who’s a real film buff
Jacqueline cinephile, she’s about that stuff
Getting the word out is a job for Troy
delivering the news he’s a paperboy
One of these residents goes by Jack
I'll give you one guess why his favorite color is black
Pete’s got advice and he’s never once missed
he’s a confidant, and my therapist
Sam’s pronouns are their/them/they
if you’ve got a problem then go away
I know Richard’s coming by the way he smells
somebody needs to slow down on those egg shells
Rory worked hard to be an eagle scout
tied himself into knots there was never a doubt
Some of these worms have maggots for pets
Tilly’s little buddy is as cute as it gets
Let me introduce you to someone named Miles
What a happy bug with the joyful smiles!
Julio, yo, look at you go
Speeding from the top to the deep below
Jay’s quote unquote jokes are not good
They smell worse than our compost hood
Diggin in the dirt but her name is Sandy
not real quick but the sand it can be
This worm Joe takes baths for real tho
Relaxing organic material
Zach sees visions, what is the deal?
are they in his brain or extremely real?
Christy went to horse camp in middle school
Made a bond with a pony named Power Tool
Gotta give it up for Josiah
Hittin shot after shot yeah he’s on fire
Russell baby boy, what's wrong are you crying?
You’re a great worm and I am not lying
Hey Tammy, can I call you Tam?
If your name was Pammy I would call you Pam
Meet Todd he has not a single bank note
He really should have not bought that boat
Rick makes his way through the pile with ease
searching for food, he’s got a thing for cheese
Chug, Chug, Kate can chug
What’s in her mug, we all just shrug
Wake up in the morning yo what's that smell
Zeke’s in the kitchen baking biscuits so swell
Alisha can swim, likes to get wet
aquarium chilling like a water pet
That is Yi, Their supreme
Number one on their darts team
Could it actually be? Whoa wait
Franklin the worm was my college roommate
We all like things
But Max is the biggest fan of Lord of the Rings
Paul’s in the pile and he’s chompin’ a haul
He’ll be eating dirt as long as he can crawl
Every single day is okay for Trae
When he’s in the room hip hip hooray
Jessica enjoys handmade pasta
She’s the real deal no impostor
There’s exactly one worm who can do a back flip
Serious skills and his name is Phillip
Ariel with the flow actually wrote this rhyme
Steal your breath with her raps turn you into a mime
I wouldn’t mess with Shawn yo,
he’ll head butt you into tomorrow
Ryan is this really odd shade of green
Take a quick look, do you know what I mean?
They call her Britt, not Brittney
Team Christina, no Brittney
Terrance, makes me wanna dance
Got me shaking my hat, my shirt, and my pants
Kiki likes astrology and the stars
I guess you could say she’s real down to mars
Ben is a friend, who is there till the end
Real helpful without a hand to lend
This special worm’s name is Monique
No one like her, she is so ‘nique
Before this pile Kate lived elsewhere
She was craving new dirt and got out of there
Used to be the bait now Ronny is a freak
You can catch him fishin’ down by the creek
Hey Hey, my man Timothy
Always cooking something call him gourmet
There’s a doctor in the house and her name is Beth
Saving these worms from an untimely death
Wooo me oh my, thats my guy: Guy
One look at him and you’ll see why
Desmond’s favorite color is orange
I know that because he told me it’s orange
Say “eh” to Dani, she’s from Canada
and her best friend He is from Panama
If you see a little worm with a big ol’ hat
It’s probably Wayne, yeah he’s known for that
Trevor is so healthy in every way
Probably cuz he eats an apple every day
Move it buckaroo, Samuel coming through
He ain’t stopping for no one and will plow you!
Sydney is a really long worm
Resident status: really long term
Trouble’s middle name is the same as his first
Double trouble is so obvious it kinda hurts
If you have a ham ‘sammich she’d like to eat it
Its the favorite meal of a worm named Edith
Ohhh shoot. Isn’t that Seth?
He cant say “ESS” so it sounds like “ETH”
Derrick’s on a date, and he wants to impress her
statement outfit, very good dresser
Role model of the pile, well of course its Bria
All the other worms are just trying to be her
Hayden stands out and I'll tell you why
He’s the only worm with only one eye
Alysha is the resident dentist
if you like teeth you could be her apprentice
Mayoral campaign vote for Chaz!
running on a platform filled with pizzazz
Put on the country jams and watch her go
Britta just loves to dosey doe
Todd is around but he won’t make a peep
snoozing real hard getting his REM sleep
Polk is the worm who is rocking the frames
Ask him for help if you forget these names
Eating too much garbage, gonna take a break
Mariah also needs to watch her salt intake
Over there is the one that we call Biff
I promise im not lying but he’s married to Tiff
Walter enjoys salsa
that is a fact, not false-a
Seimone with the crossover, left to right
dribblin’ the ball with a handle so tight
That bug Jane anything but plain
high fashion is her lane
Michelle can sing, better yet yodel
but those reports are anecdotal
Shorten up Harrison, call him Harry
too many syllables, getting scary
Demar, Demar everything you are
I could go on but it’s the end of the bar
Steph loves living in the land of the lakes
In her spare time catch her baking cupcakes
Chuck’s sibling lives in this bin
Born on the same day, yo that’s his twin!
If you don’t get tickets, it will be tragic
Check out terry’s show doing close up magic
Alexander is real skilled you know
Earned a world ranking in the game of uno
A green thumb worm, I beg your pardon
Mae runs the compost’ compost garden
Katie reads the finest works of the era
Yes shes in a book club that meets at Panera
Mark has it all, yeah he’s got it made
Plus he won a spelling bee back in third grade
When it comes to the arts, Breck is more than ok
Have you seen what he can do with a block of clay?
Rose is a worm who is from the south
On an unrelated note she has a very wide mouth
Krissy is an audio snob, thats final
She goes on and on about the ‘warmth of vinyl’
Kathryn is a grandma call her nana
When it comes to fruit shes a allergic to banana
Craig has more strong views than most
In his opinion root beer is gross
Bonnie is a cobbler, making the shoes
Worms don’t have feet so she’s singing the blues
Shelly likes puzzles, im talking crossword
finishes fast, its really absurd
Kim’s vertical leap makes the others say nope!
She’s the most skilled when jumping rope
First time around ain’t always great
Salah is the oldest child of eight
You could describe Gerald as dense
But when it comes to smelling, it’s his greatest sense
Erin is the best and it isn’t fair
as good as it gets at styling hair
Making art out of food is her superpower
Ivonne works wonders with the cauliflower
Topical ointment is what Elle seeks
Gotta treat the rash that she’s had for weeks
Like Houdini, he can pick any lock
He might be a wizard but we call him doc
Jumping on squares, Pete is top notch
enthusiast of the game called Hopscotch
Larry chills topside for days
Basking in the sun and soaking up rays
Mark misses breakfast without warning
has trouble waking up in the morning.
Lacking knowledge, this is Matt
He believes the earth is flat
Body art draws ahhhs and ooohs
Sierra has ten tattoos
Call him Mi, Mike, or Michael
Watch him on his unicycle
Candace works hard at high noon
while whistling an ear worm tune
Kurt had a bite just a little nibble
writing words in the dirt, just a little scribble
Aria rocks shirts without sleeves
And eats organic oak leaves
Jantel does something I can not
tie herself into a knot
Shonte brings the party, she is “da bomb”
A real good choice to DJ prom
He’s got a split tongue and his name is Jake
product of a worm who mated with a snake
Cleaning kicks like its a sport
Zoe shines shoes at the airport
His name is Winston, he’s here to say
he’s got a warm head thanks to his toupee
Evelyn finds those flashes frightening
Yes he is afraid of lightning
Corey only digs that high brow art
His favorite song is achy breaky heart
Garrison has no common sense
that little worm climbed up the fence
A fortune teller is her aura
Your future is read by Laura
I like Harlan, he likes me
We drink decaf after 3
Sabrina slumber inquiry
She keeps a dream diary
Bert is thin, so they call him slim
No fin but he can really swim
sugar everyday causing Bev strife
She swore off soda pop for life
Supposed to clean the gutters, but instead
Daquan decided to organize the shed.
You can find Kayla workin outdoors
Crossing off a checklist of her chores
Mason sees with such precision
eagle eyed worm with 20/20 vision
Dental hygiene better than ok
Gabriel flosses 2 times a day
spent the whole night reading bout quartz glass
now caleb can’t stay awake in class
Arnold is tired of the world’s conditions
Driven to reduce carbon emissions
Angel did something I don’t condone
Took a big lick of my double scoop cone!
working with family, has no qualm
Courtney built a house with her mom
Jacob belches with such ease
He can Burp the ABCs
On the job she’s a supervisor
Jewel’s in charge with the backwards visor
In this song, Josh feels fine
throughout his life he speaks in rhyme
Abdul is cutting expenses
but can’t live without contact lenses
Grace doesn’t lie, no fabricator
Says she knows an alligator
Erica Hawaii chilling on vaycay
Strumming ukulele on the daily
Conspiracy theorist, yeah thats Pat
He’s the worm rocking a tin foil hat
Lief was topside, quite the sight
Saw a shooting star last night
Juan types 70 words a minute
Thats pretty fast on the keyboard ‘innit?
Kind, rad, you could say nice
Willy loves ice skating on the ice
Chewing through compost Rod stays fed
but not before he makes his bed
Montel is strong, buff and burly
his french fries he likes them curly
Her name is Josephine call her Jo
She is undefeated at tic tac toe
Oh this worm is quite a find
Marina can move stuff with her mind
On the Harmonica Randle can’t lose
Got 12 keys which one should he choose?
Megan was bored, no fun at all
So she began a rubber band ball
Chillin at the beach, not a hassle
Amelia constructs a sand castle
At the theme park Shane likes to scarf
But then the rollercoaster made him barf
Reggie runs things, yeah call him the host
But he looks surprised did he see a ghost?
Ari got a helmet and a scooter
gotta say that the style suits her
Smells real good without warning
Erik bakes fresh bread every morning
Gabriella starts a bonfire, it ain’t hard
She likes her marshmallows burnt and charred
Hello to Curtis with a nod and a wink
he was sweet enough to fix his grandmas sink
Manual transmission not a big lift
Renee knows how to drive a stick shift
Multilingual Amanda-Lynn
She speaks French and Mandarin
The pile is chillin when its 30 below
Barbra always thinks that it’s gonna snow
Only 10 he’s super duper tall
Lane is trying out for JV Ball
She’s in trouble, thats what up
Dana broke mom’s favorite cup
Started a business on a dare
Now Alan sells vacuums at the fair
Tried to cut back, will power is weak
Mimi eats newspaper every other week
Watching her play is like a best of
Chen runs the pile’s Chess club
Casey is down for a movie
His favorite cable channel is AMC
On the phone Britt feels alive
Answers calls for the pledge drive
Gotta get the best view that is Lucy
So she climbed up a spruce tree
Do you want to play drums? Piper said no.
Instead she picks a mean banjo
Jenny plays broomball, squirmin on the ice
MVP of the league twice
Full name Peter, short name Pete
When he’s on a plane, wants an aisle seat
Got a tabilism that others despise
Tabby’s chowing burgers and eating French fries
Joel’s a great filmmaker It’s a lock
Just premiered a short form doc
Every time I see him he says hiiiii
Clark Just booked a trip to Hawaii
Got the goggles and the speedo, that’s him
Bartholomew the worm loves to swim
When it comes to cleaning up, the job is Steve’s
Look at him go raking those leaves
A little bit of heat will not suffice
Ian’s always adding that extra spice
So many gems in her stash
Bianca goes digging in the neighbors trash
At the bottom of the pool, his name is Ted
Takes scuba lessons with community ed
All you need are some vegetable scraps.
Dirt is made from the worm craps.
I’ve got 200 worms and they live in my compost, live in my compost.
