Next time you’re found, with your chin on the ground,

Dm - G7 C - Am - Dm - G

there’s a lot to be learned, so look around !

C Am Dm

1. Just what makes that little old ant,

G G7 C

think he'll move that rubber tree plant ?

C Dm D7 - G C

Anyone knows an ant can't move a rubber tree plant.

C7 - F - C

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes,

- D D7 - G G7

he's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes.

C - C7

So any time your feelin' low, 'stead of lettin' go,

F D

just remember that ant !

C Am Dm G

Oops, there goes another rubber tree,

C Am Dm G

oops, there goes another rubber tree,

C Am Dm G C - Am - Dm - G

oops, there goes another rubber tree plant.

C A7

When troubles call, and your back's to the wall,

Dm - G C - Am - Dm - G

there’s a lot to be learned, that wall could fall.

C Am Dm

2. Now, once there was a silly old ram,

G G7 C

thought he'd punch a hole in a dam.

C Dm D7 - G C

No one could make that ram scram, he kept buttin' that dam.

C7 - F - C

'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes,

- D D7 - G G7

he had high apple pie, in the sky hopes.

C - C7

So any time you’re feelin' bad, 'stead of lookin' sad,

F D

just remember that ram !

C Am Dm G

Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt,

C Am Dm G

oops, there goes a billion kilowatt,

C Am Dm G C

oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam.

C7 - F - C

So he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes,

- D D7 - G G7

he’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes.

C

All problem’s just a toy balloon,
