Lyrics: 

Greg, what are you doing with that slug? 

It looks so yummy, it's going in my tum! 

No Greg NO! 

We don't eat slugs Or any of the creepy crawly bugs 

No Greg NO! We don't eat slugs 

Or any of the creepy crawly bugs 

You can eat an apple or you can eat a pear

 What about the slug that's crawling in my hair?

No Greg NO! We don't eat slugs

 Or any of the creepy crawly bugs

 No Greg NO! 

We don't eat slugs Or any of the creepy crawly bugs 

You can eat a mango or some cheese 

What about the slug that's on my knee? 

No Greg NO! We don't eat slugs

 Or any of the creepy crawly bugs

 No Greg NO!

 We don't eat slugs Or any of the creepy crawly bugs

 You can eat a carrot or a peach 

What about the slug that's just in reach? 

No Greg NO! We don't eat slugs

 Or any of the creepy crawly bugs

 No Greg NO! We don't eat slugs

 Or any of the creepy crawly bugs 

The slug looks so cute, can he be my friend? 

Yes, as long as you don't eat him 

Just remember

 No Greg NO! We don't eat slugs 

Or any of the creepy crawly bugs 

No Greg NO! We don't eat slugs 

Or any of the creepy crawly bugs
