about

A song about the earthworm and its often overlooked role in helping plants grow.

lyrics

A baby earthworm asked his mom
Why are we underground?
The mommy said because our job
Is moving earth around

That’s what the earthworm’s for
That’s what the earthworm’s for

And if we do our job then when
The seeds drop in the soil
They’ll sleep inside the ground until
The rain begins to fall

That’s what the rain is for
That’s what the rain is for

The sun was passing overhead
The ground began to warm
And little seeds began to sprout
On meadows, hills, and farms

That’s what the sun is for
That’s what the sun is for

The moon came up behind the hill
And out came twinkling stars
The little worm was dazzled and
He asked what stars are for

His mommy said all creatures long
For beauty and for light
The stars are just for you to see
On sweet warm summer nights

That’s what the stars are for
That’s what the stars are for

That’s what the moon is for . . .
That’s what the sun is for . . .
That’s what the rain is for . . .

That’s what the earthworm’s for
