Next time you're found, with your chin on the ground,
Dm7G7G6G/BC
There a lot to be learned, so look a - round.

Just what makes that little old ant
Dm7G7C6C
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant?
CC7FCdimG7G6G/BC
Anyone knows an ant can't move a rubber tree plant,
C7FCdimC
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes,
Am7D7Am7D7Am7G
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes.
Am7G/BCC7
So an - y time your gettin' low, 'stead of lettin' go,
FDm7Cdim
Just remember that ant --
GD7Dm7G7C
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
Calt Gdim
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall,
Dm7G7G6G/BC
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall.
CAm7Dm7F
Once there was a silly old ram
Dm7G7C6C
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam;
CC7FCdimG7G6G/BC
No one could make that ram scram -- he kept buttin' that dam,
C7FCdimC
'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes,
Am7D7Am7D7Am7G
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes.
Am7G/BCC7
So an - y time your feelin' bad,'stead of feelin' sad,
FDm7Cdim
Just remember that ram --
GD7Dm7G7C
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam.

All prob - lems just a toy balloon;

They'll be bursted soon -- they're just bound to go pop.

Oops there goes another problem ker -
GD7Dm7G7
Oops there goes another problem ker -
GD7Dm7G7CGC
Oops there goes another problem ker - plop, ker - plop?
