Old Songs, Lullabies, Shanties etc. Lyrics of the A bookworm track

A moth devoured words. When I heard of that wonder


 It struck me as a strange event


 That a worm should swallow the song of some man.


 A thief gorge in the darkness on a great man's


 Speech of distinction. But the thievish stranger


 Was not a whit the wiser for swallowing words.


 And the answer: A Bookworm.
