Question: Worm song - pennywill - 02-06-2010

Hi, I'm playing at a 'worm charming' festival on Saturday and I was trying to figure out that 'worm' song...
That has lyrics:
In the south of France where the ladies don't wear pants...
It's a kids song, but I can't remember the rest, but I know it has to do with worms.

I know that's not a lot to go on, but if anyone had the rest of the lyrics or the song title, I would really appreciate that.
thanks.

    There’s a place in France,
    Where the ladies don’t wear pants
    Just one puff of smoke
    Is enough to kill a snake
    When the snake is dead
    They put roses in his head
    When the roses die
    They put diamonds in his eyes
    When the diamonds break
    It is 1978.

Excellent, Penny.

So who won, and how many worms did they manage ??

The winner had 4 worms :eek: - not many, but we've had a dry spell. The most unusual method was a mom and her kids, all dressed up, one as a fairy, one as a catwoman, and the mom as a princess. They danced under a yellow umbrella...very cute.
It was a lot of fun and ok turnout for the first one ever in Canada.
