Here's another version: (We used to sing it)

Have you ever seen a hearse go by
And think that you were the next to die?

They wrap you up in a bloody sheet
And then they bury you six feet deep.

All goes for about a week
And then your coffin begins to leak.

The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
Into your stomach and out of your mouth.

Your stomach turns to a slimey green
And pus comes out like shaving cream.

Actually, the eggs can move around the body. Although it is rare, they do lodge in the brain, they commonly can be found in muscle tissue.

[jeremiah]

Actually, it was the new show "House".

All the good and fine things we have to look forward to, will soon be coming to supermarkets in the USA from Mexico.

Correction:

All goes WELL for about a week

"People can get tapeworms from eating undercooked pork in Mexico or pig feces on vegetables"

Is this a delicacy in Mexico or something?

[Critical Bill]

"What's that supposed to be a picture of? I mean, other than the boy? What's happening there?"

Sorry there was no reference as to what is happening. I am speculating he has not been dead ( if indeed he is dead )long and the worms are vacating either naturally of chemcally.

[Ichneumon]

The victim (and tapeworm) would be starved for a period of time. Several people would hold down the victim while some pungent food was placed in front of the victim's mouth. Eventually, the tapeworm would emerge to take the bait...

Urban legend, sorry.

Darn, I gave up drinking, smoking and even red meat ... What next?

I had a neighbor that did all that because he was always feeling under the weather.
Macrobiotic diet too. And an EKG.

Turned out that another group at work was dumping acid down the cyanide drain, and naturally,
the drain was vented on the roof next to the air-conditioning intake for his area.

He only smelled it after from coming back from a long lunch one day. Giving up smoking probably
helped his sense of smell.

Right-- so I was making a tapeworm casserole, and I couldn't find the actual recipe, so I couldn't remember the proper cook time and temp for safe tapeworm consumption.

Thanks for the relevant info.

Does anybody have a recipe for chupacabra burgers?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Feces on your greens is probably better in the long run than smoking. But either one is okay with me, just as long as you don't do it in my face!

[PistolPaknMama]

Talk about heaping on accolades-----LOL!

Some accolades are better than none at all! ;-)

[ScudBud]

yet another version, designed to by kids to make other kids giggle and say "eewwww!"
The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
The worms play pinocchole on your snout

And then your stomach turns luscious green
And puss oozes out like whipped cream

[BykrBayb]

You people are sick!

We sang the last verse "Your liver turns a funny green. Your guts pop out like whipping cream."
