Have you had a lousy day?
Was it uphill all the way?
Is the world taking the wind out of your sails?
Well at least you don’t have to be
At the bottom of the sea
Burrowing into bones of fallen whales

When life is getting you down
Wake up and look around
And be glad you’re not a bone-eating snotworm
When you’re feeling low
Remember all you know
And be glad you’re not a bone-eating snotworm

So you think you have it rough?
Having problems with your love?
In the proper light the problem pales
Ladies, if you’re annoyed by men
Getting underneath your skin
At least you don’t have fifty to a hundred microscopic males

When life is getting you down
Wake up and look around
And be glad you’re not a bone-eating snotworm
When you’re feeling low
There’s so much lower you could go
Yeah be glad you’re not a bone-eating snotworm

They’re kingdom animalia, phylum annelida,
Class polychaeda, order sabellida,
Family sibloniglidae, genus osedax,
Yeah I checked wikipedia and looked up all the facts

If you’re having issues with
(If you’re having issues)
A surplus or a lack of kids
(With a surplus or a lack of kids)
Family planning perils cause you pain?
(Cause you pain)
Well you know it could be worse
(It could be)
Yeah you could be giving birth
(You could be)
Every minute, every hour, of every day
(Uuh)

Oh oh when life is getting you down
Wake up and look around
And be glad you’re not a bone-eating snotworm
Oh, be glad that you are not
A creature named for snot
Yes, be glad you’re not a bone-eating snotworm
Oh, be glad you’re not a bone-eating snotworm
