	Story Behind the Song I began writing this song while in the shower and after letting my brother hear a initial draft of it (after having finished my shower and some time later)- which he liked, I decided to finish it up and begin performing it- so he's partly to blaime I'd say. I've performed it on numerous occasions at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica- just enough I would guess so that they didn't have to ask me to no longer play it. I also sent it to Dr. Demento who has played it three times. Having grown up through my college years listening to Dr. Demento, this for me is on the level of winning a Golden Onion award- though on principle I would not at this time be able to attend such an award show because I believe award shows are leading to the fall of our civilization. The version you can hear here and on the quadruple album of mine that it's on: "Red Beans and Rice and Other Songs of the Dusty Trail", is a live version recorded at McCabe's. It has also appeared on other radio shows around the country. You can visit my website at DougNewman.net for further info. about my stuff. Lyrics Once I had a tapeworm He was a friend of mine One day he poked his head out of my ear and said I'm fine Most of the time he spent his days in my large intestine Once I had a tapeworm He was a friend of mine One day I went to the doctor My tapeworm said hello My doctor said oh my young man there's something you should know That tapeworms aren't good friends Somehow you've been mislead So take this pill four times a day and soon he will be dead Chorus: Tapeworm tapeworm Why did you lie to me Tapeworm tapeworm You're just a parasite I see I took my pill four times a day And in the pot he fell He looked so sad just lying there As far as I could tell But I know I won't be too sad Nor will I start to cry For all the stories he told me Where only tapeworm lies Chorus And all the stories you told me Where only your tapeworm lies Goodbye little tapeworm (c)2000 Sandthistle Music / ASCAP
