[Spoken intro]

Ladies and gentlemen... she's not hungry. She's HOSTING.

[Verse 1 - English]

I ate a whole shawarma, then I ate some more,

Still starving, still hungry, what's this all for?

Doctor looked inside me, said "Girl, I've got news,

You've got a little tenant, and he's eating your food!"

[Pre-Chorus]

He's wiggling, he's jiggling, he's living rent-free,

No job, no bills, just my dinner and me!

[Chorus - English]

There's a worm in my tummy, he's throwing a party,

Eating all my kabsa and he's never sorry!

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, oh he won't go home,

Worm in my tummy, I'm never alone!

[Verse 2 - Arabic]

أكلت كبسة وبعدها حلا،

Akalt kabsa w ba'daha ḥala,

وبطني يقول لي: وين الغدا؟

W baṭnī yaqūl lī: wēn al-ghada?

قال الدكتور: "عندك ساكنة جديدة،

Qāl ad-duktūr: "'Indak sākinah jadīdah,

دودة صغيرة وجوعانة وعنيدة!"

تاكل عشاي وتقول "كمّل كمّل"،

Tākil 'ashāy w taqūl "kammil kammil",

وأنا أجوع وهي تضحك وتتدلل!

W ana ajū' w hī taḍḥak w titdallal!

[Chorus - Arabic]

دودة في بطني، سوّت لها حفلة،

Dūdah fī baṭnī, sawwat lahā ḥaflah,

تاكل كبستي وما تقول لي كلمة!

Tākil kabsatī w mā taqūl lī kalimah!

تتلوى تتلوى، ما تبي تروح،

Tatlawwā tatlawwā, mā tabī tarūḥ,

دودة في بطني، وأنا أضحك وأنوح!

Dūdah fī baṭnī, w ana aḍḥak w anūḥ!

[Bridge - Both]

يا دكتور يا دكتور، عطني الدوا!

Yā duktūr yā duktūr, 'aṭnī ad-dawā!

Take it, little worm, it's time to go!

خلاص يا دودة، الله يعطيك العافية،

Khalāṣ yā dūdah, Allāh yu'ṭīk al-'āfiyah,

Pack your tiny bags, bye-bye, goodbye!

[Final Chorus - Both]

Worm in my tummy, دودة في بطني,

Worm in my tummy, dūdah fī baṭnī,

Eating all my kabsa, تاكل كبستي!

Eating all my kabsa, tākil kabsatī!

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, تتلوى تتلوى,

Worm in my tummy,

Lines explained

“You've got a little tenant, and he's eating your food!"”

The doctor's diagnosis introduces the central comedic element of the song: a 'tenant' or 'worm' responsible for the singer's insatiable hunger.

“Eating all my kabsa and he's never sorry!”

Kabsa is a traditional mixed rice dish, popular in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, highlighting the specific cultural context of the food being eaten by the 'worm'.

“وأنا أجوع وهي تضحك وتتدلل!”

W ana ajū' w hī taḍḥak w titdallal!

This line humorously depicts the worm's mischievous personality, enjoying its feast while the singer remains hungry and frustrated.
