Ooey-Gooey was a worm

[TXlib]

A mighty worm was he.
He sat upon a railway track,
A train he did not see.
The train came roaring round the bend,
The driver gave a squeal,
The guard got out his pocket knife,
And scraped him off the wheel.
Ooey Gooey!

1. Well, what the heck, somebody has to weigh in on this...

But when I learned this, it didn't get as far as nine lines. Mine went "...he crawled upon the railroad track, to see what he could see. TOOT TOOT! Ooey Gooey!"

2. Yeah, I thought it seemed longer than the version i remembered...

Which was pretty much your version.
