🎸 Verse 1:
  G               A7                D
I heard of this colossal small town worm race
      G                A7       Bm     D7
In Toowomba Queensland very far away
   G                   A            Bm  A      G
I think they're rather sending up the Melbourne Cup
             Em7          A7             D
Because they hold it on exactly the same day
     G                  A7                 D
I'll go to the TAB, and I'll lay down some money
   G                 A7               D
As for the Melbourne Cup I can not go there
       G                 A7             Bm     D7
At the Melbourne Cup you gotta dress up fancy
         G             A7           D    G/D D
And I've not a thing appropriate to wear.   I'm goin' to the

Slimy Two Five Onе


🎸 Verse 2:
G                A7              D
Training for the race in my back garden
G               A7              Bm  D7
Learning who is fast and who is slow
    G                 A7         Bm  A   G
The fast worms get to party in a private jar
       Em               A7                     D
And as for the slow ones, back in the bin they go
G          A7                  D
Qualifying heats I've found my fastest
G              A7             D      D/F#
From my landlady's composting bin
         G                  A7                Bm   D7
Couldn't name them all, so they're all called "Slimy."
G        A7           D
Number 251 is for the win.  Goin' to the

🎸 Verse 3:
  G             A7              D
I tried 3 meter worms from Korumburra
    G          A7                Bm  D7
But Eisinia Fetida is the way to go
   G              A                Bm  A  G
My little Slimies left their arses in the dust
Em7               A7                 D
Being so massive, bound to make them slow.
         G                A7           D
In these troubled times I cannot go to Crow's Nest
          G           A7           D
'Cos it's too many kilometres from here
        G                  A7          Bm         D7
So I'll have a few friends over in the back yard
     G                    A7                  D
I'll have 'em place their bets and drink some beer.  We're gonna have the
