My vote (tongue in cheek) is Mah Na Mah Na. Really the BEST lyrics because I had the whole song memorized since I heard it for the first time in 1969. It still worms around up there and spills into my consciousness every once in a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc760ioVf0A

I have multiple submissions for worst song lyrics. One of the Hall of Shame worthy lyrics is certainly Meatloaf’s Anything for Love:
“Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?”Not to be outdone is Justin Beiber’s song Yummy:
“Yeah, you got that yummy-yum/that yummy-yum, that yummy-yummy.”

One of my son’s college roommates is studying etymology, and for some reason, this song came to mind and I told him, if he wants to amuse his classmates, play it before a class. Michael Jackson wrote this and sang background vocals for his sister. You need to see all of the lyrics for this one, but here’s just some of it:
“But when the centipede is hot
You’re bound to feel the fire, huh
And when the centipede is hot
You’re bound to feel the fire
[The entire song takes the cringe to 11 on a 10 scale. Just a little more:]
When the time is really right
Is when the centipede is crawlin’
You’ll be crying in the night so many tears
In the quiet of the night
Is when the snake is in the crawlin’
And the moon starts to glow then disappear
When the time is really right
Is when the centipede is crawlin’
You’ll be crying in the night so many tears
And you’re crawlin’ like a centipede
Centipede
Centipede
Centipede”
