THOSE ANTS IN MY KITCHEN CAME IN TO INVADE,
LIKE LITTLE MARCHING SOLDIERS WHO ARE ALL ON PARADE.
THEY JUST FOUND MY PANTRY WITH DELIGHT TO INTRUDE,
AND EAGER TO CARRY OFF THEIR MOST FAVORITE FOOD.
CHORUS
melody change
OH THOSE ANTS, PESKY ANTS ARE EVERYWHERE.
WHEN I OPEN MY CUPBOARDS I FIND HUNDREDS THERE!!
OOPS, THEY JUST FOUND THE JELLY AND MAKING A MESS,
I’M FEELING QUITE ANTSY WITH STRESS!!
VERSE 2
THE ANTS IN MY KITCHEN DISCOVERED THE HONEY,
AND LET ME TELL YOU THAT’S NOT AT ALL FUNNY!!
THEY’RE CERTAINLY NOT WELCOME AND JUST CANNOT STAY,
I’VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DRIVE THEM AWAY!!
CHORUS
melody change
OH THOSE ANTS, PESKY ANTS ARE EVERYWHERE.
WHEN I OPEN MY CUPBOARDS I FIND HUNDREDS THERE!!
THEY’RE MARCHING ON COUNTERS AND ALSO THE FLOOR,
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SHOW THEM THE DOOR!!
VERSE 3
MY VACUUM IS SUCKING THEM INTO DEFEAT,
THEY’RE DISAPPEARING IN GREAT NUMBERS
BUT THEY REFUSE TO RETREAT!!
THEY SIGNALED REINFORCEMENTS AND SENT
IN MORE TROOPS,
I THINK I’M READY TO FLY THE COUP!!
CHORUS
melody change
OH THOSE ANTS, PESKY ANTS ARE EVERYWHERE,
WHEN I OPEN MY CUPBOARDS I FIND HUNDREDS THERE!!
THEY’RE MARCHING ON COUNTERS AND ALSO THE FLOOR,
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SHOW THEM THE DOOR!!
