The Worm And The Angel Lyrics

The Worm And The Angel lyrics

One night I dreamed that I was dead 

A butterfly flew into my head 

"How do ya do" she said 

"I'm an angel" 

She said no more, she
said no less 

I said "can you get me out of this mess 

If you can
well then I guess you must be an angel" 



But then a worm crawled
up my nose 

And said to the butterfly "I suppose 

You think because
of your beautiful clothes 

You're an angel" 



Well the
butterfly smm-iled a knowing smile 

And said "a miss is as good as a mile


Nothing on earth can cramp the style of an angel" 



Then the
worm said "I'm not satisfied 

And if you'll kindly step outside 

In
a civilised way we can soon decide who's an angel" 

Well I was turnin' in
my grave 

The worm began to rant and rave 

And the butterfly did
not behave like an angel 



Then I awoke and found them gone 

I looked at the trees and the morning sun 

and wondered if the worm
had won or the angel 

It's not every day you see the light 

But
after such a restless night 

I knew that only a worm could fight an
angel
