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.

January 21st, 2004 at 6:11 pm Here’s the version I remember, though I admit it makes not a whit of sense:
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.
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

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.
