    I utterly disagree that there is anything sad or pathetic about Dr. Worm. He's humble, he just believes in himself and is doing what makes him happy.

    When I listen to this song it's kind of happy, but at the same time it kinda makes me sad.
    In my mind (I don't know if this is what it's actually about) it's about a young guy who has dreams of fame, but isn't actually recognized by anyone for what he does.......
    The happy part being that he truly enjoys what he is doing.....and it gives him his purpose.

    They call me Doctor Worm
    Good morning, how are you?
    I'm Doctor Worm
    I'm interested in things
    I'm not a real doctor, but I am a real worm
    I am an actual worm
    I live like a worm
    I like to play the drums
    I think I'm getting good, but I can handle criticism
    I'll show you what I know
    And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums
    I'll leave the front unlocked
    Cause I can't hear the doorbell
    When I get into it, I can't tell if you are watching me twirling the stick
    When I give the signal, my friend Rabbi Vole will play the solo
    [Guitar Solo]
    Someday, somebody else besides me
    Will call me by my stage name
    They will call me Doctor Worm
    Good morning, how are you?
    I'm Doctor Worm
    I'm interested in things
    I'm not a real doctor, but I am a real worm
    I am an actual worm
    I live like a worm
    And I like to play the drums
    I think I'm getting good, but I can handle criticism
    I'll show you what I know
    And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums
