The Wooly Booger

Words and Music by Tom Paxton

Tell me, where did the Wooly Booger go?
He was here about a half an hour ago.
He was very green, I know.
And he was sitting on your toe.
Tell me, where did the Wooly Booger go?

Did he go?
Did he go?
Tell me, where did the Wooly Booger go?

Where can the wooly booger be?
He was iggly, wiggly, squiggly, as can be.
He looked very big to me,
And he was sitting on your knee.
Tell me, where can that Wooly Booger be?
Can he be, etc.

Where is that wooly booger now?
Did he get inside your T-shirt anyhow?
Is he crawling east or west?
Is he crawling up your chest?
Tell me, where is that Wooly Booger now?
Is he now, etc.

Where did that wooly booger hide?
Did it go for a wooly booger ride?
Do you find it hard to hear?
Is it hiding in your ear?
Tell me, where did that wooly booger hide?
Did it hide, etc.

Now I know where the wooly boogers go.
Shall I tell you the secret so you'll know?
See it floating in the sky?
It became a butterfly!
Now you know where the wooly boogers go.
Where they go, etc.

See it floating in the sky;
It became a butterfly.
Now you know where the wooly boogers go!

Note: "Wooly Booger" is a name given to a type of caterpillar in Oklahoma. The song was written for Paxton's niece, Meghan Cummings.
