(Next time you're found with your chin on the ground)
(There's a lot to be learned    so look around)

Just what makes that little ole ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant?
Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant

        {But he's got hi-i-igh hopes, he's got hi-i-igh hopes}
        {He's got high apple pi-i-ie-in-the-sk-y-y hopes}
        So, any time you're gettin' low, 'stead of lettin' go, just remember that ant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
        (Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant)
        {Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant}

(When troubles call and your back's to the wall)
(There a lot to be learned   that wall could fall)

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram scram
He kept buttin' that dam

{'cause he had hi-i-igh hopes, he had hi-i-igh hopes}
        {He had high apple pi-i-ie-in-the-sk-y-y hopes}
So,  any time your feelin' bad, 'stead of feelin' sad, just remember that ram
Oops, there goes a billion-kilowatt dam
        (Oops, there goes a billion-kilowatt dam)
        {Oops, there goes a billion-kilowatt dam }


<brief instrumental>

<One girl's voice>      (A problem's just a toy balloon, they'll be bursted soon)
(They're just bound to go pop)  <SOUND EFEFCT-"Pop!">
<Frank chimes in>
Oops, there goes another problem ker-plop
                        (Oops, there goes another problem ker-plop)
                        {Oops, there goes another problem ker-plop}

(Ker-plop!)
