Lyrics

I was feeling free as a lark,
Thought I’d take a picnic to the park,
Plopped myself down on the ground,
Then I saw some little critters crawling around…
And now I’ve got ants in my pants, ants in my pants,
They make me do a funny kinda dance, I’ve got ants in my pants.
Well, I wasn’t thrilled with the news,
Sorta panicked, kicked off my shoes,
You won’t be surprised at how
All of a sudden I stopped and said, “Ow!”
Now I’ve got rocks in my socks, rocks in my socks,
That’s what I get for thinking outside the box, I’ve got rocks in my socks.
By now I could no longer stroll,
So I dropped down, started to roll,
I wasn’t thinking, I confess,
That rolling like that would kick up such a mess…
And now I’ve got dirt in my shirt, dirt in my shirt,
Feels kind of itchy, at least it doesn’t hurt, I’ve got dirt in my shirt.
I thought a picnic was supposed to be easy,
By now I was feeling kind of queasy,
I thought I’d head home but instead
The nearest tree just bumped right into my head…
And now I’ve got a pain in my brain, I’ve got a pain in my brain,
Kinda feel like I’m going insane, I’ve got a pain in my brain.
And I’ve got dirt in my shirt, I’ve got dirt in my shirt,
Feels kind of itchy, at least it doesn’t hurt, I’ve got dirt in my shirt.
And I’ve got rocks in my socks, rocks in my socks,
That’s what I get for thinking outside the box, I’ve got rocks in my socks.
And I’ve still got ants in my pants, ants in my pants,
Makes me do a funny kinda dance, I’ve got ants in my pants!!
