作曲 : Stephen E Solum
Put your money on the ants
There’ll probably always be some ants
Those little critters never seem to find a place where they can’t live
They can put up with a flood
They run right over all the mud
Now don’t let anybody try to tell you all the ants are trivial
They do survive all that we give ‘em
And come on back for more
You can spray them sweep them, mash their feet then
Still I see them on the floor of my living room
I even fumigated the apartment
Put your money on the ants
I know there’ll always be some ants
Exterminationary planning is substantial
Meanwhile back at the ranch
You’ll never see the last ant
Now don’t think just because they’re small
They don’t matter much at all
If you add those little buggers up they’d fill a cup about a mile tall
And in the game of evolution
They hold the highest cards
You can spray the outside with insecticide
And they’ll run inside, commit suicide
When they try to hide inside a side of hash browns
Then you go outside and you finally find them
All dried up on the sidewalk from the insecticide
Then one looks up at you
And begins to chew a hole in your resistance
Put your money on the ants
I bet there’ll always be some ants
I know they’ll outlive all my uncles and my aunts
And even all my descendants
You’ll never see the last ant
