Kawaii Worms Up!

Worms Up! It's the code worm. 

No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard.

W.O.R.M. Up!

There are all kinds of baby rhymes: tickles, bounces, fingerplays, peek-a-boo... "Worms Up" is an example from the genre "Baby Biting Rhymes." No one knows why caregivers like to bite babies...just make sure you don't draw blood.

First, wiggle index finger to get baby's attention

Worms up, worms down,

hold opposite arm horizontal while moving 

worm finger above and then under arm
Worms up, worms down,
Worms up, worms down,
Worms are hiding in the ground!

wiggle finger under arm
Worms down, worms up,

hold opposite arm horizontal while moving 

worm finger under and then over arm

Worms down, worms up,
Worms down, worms up,
Watch out birds will eat you up!

pretend to bite finger and/or baby 

I found this rhyme on the KCLS Tell Me a Story database.
