When I worked in the tomato fields, relative to me they were pretty
big. I used to get a nickle each for those I captured. Then I'd toss
them, one by one, onto the highway.

I had a Boston Terrier who would pick a ripe tomato, carry it over
into the shade of a green apple tree, and eat it all.

Back then they probably still tasted really good too. Don't know
about the worms though. I'd suppose any crawly that plump and juicy
would at least leave a bitter taste. I'm not sure where this lyric
fragment is from, but I recall hearing people sing it when I was
very young:

 Nobody wants me,
 Nobody loves me,
 Think I'll eat a worm and die . . .


Hm.
We always sang it:

Nobody loves me,
Everybody hates me,
I'm gonna go eat worms...

? 

My Liverpudlian grandfather sang:

When I was born my Ma and Pa
Just looked at me and said, "Oh pshaw"
The doctor said, "A boy - I think"
The nurse went out to get a drink.

They always, always, pick on me
And never, ever, let me be
I know what I'll do, bye and bye
I'll eat a worm, and then I'll die

And when I'm gone, I know they'll be
Mighty sorry that they
Picked
On
Me.
