We (the regiment I'm a member of in the Sealed Knot) sing a version of it with a lot more words than that, but to a similar tune.

THE WORM SONG
If you ever see a hearse go by, Remember the day that you must die
Oh, oh, oh, oh, where will you be in a hundred years from now?

They wrap you up in a clean white shirt, Then they cover you up with dirt
Oh, oh, oh, oh, where will you be in a hundred years from now?

You been in the ground for less than a week And then your coffin begins to leak
Oh, oh, oh, oh, where will you be in a hundred years from now?

The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out, They crawl in thin and they crawl out stout
Oh, oh, oh, oh, where will you be in a hundred years from now?

There’s one little worm that’s not so shy Crawls in through your ear and out through your eye
Oh, oh, oh, oh, where will you be in a hundred years from now?

Your eyes fall in and your teeth out, Your brains come dribbling down your snout
Oh, oh, oh, oh, where will you be in a hundred years from now?

And it’s oh, oh, oh, oh, where will you be in a hundred years from now?
DEAD!

Also known as The Hearse Song. There are many and various versions, dating back to WW1 and probably earlier.

All at sea⛵
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

A woman a the churchyard gate.
Oooh, aaah

She saw three corpses carried in
And the worms crawled in and the worms crawled out
Crawled in thin and crawled out fat.
Oooh, aaah

The woman looked at a corpse and said
Oooh, aaah.
And the worms crawled in and the worms crawled out
Crawled in thin and crawled out some fat.
Oooh, aaah

Will I be like you when I am dead?
Oooh, aaah
And the worms crawled in and the worms crawled out
Crawled in thin and crawled out some fat.
Oooh, aaah

The corpse looked up at the woman and said
Oooh, aaah
And the worms crawled in and the worms crawled out
Crawled in thin and crawled out fat
Oooh, aaah


YES!
