There's also this version:
"The worms crawl in 
And the worms crawl out
Your eyes fall in
And your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling 
Down your snout
 Be merry, my friends,
Be merry!"

As rendered by The Pogues on the album *If I Should Fall From Grace 
With God*

"Bewildering spring, and by the Auvezere
Poppies and day's eyes in the green email
Rose over us"      
              "Near Perigord", Ezra Pound
