[Intro]
 C   Am   Dm   G
 
[Bridge]
  C                                A7
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 !
 
[Verse 1]
 
C          Am          Dm
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.
 
 
[Chorus]
    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.
 
 
[Bridge]
 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.
 
 
[Verse 2]
       C          Am    Dm
 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.
 
 
[Chorus]
   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.
 
 
[Chorus]
   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,
C7                               F                         D
they'll be bursting soon,       they're just bound to go pop.
 C           Am     Dm            G
Oops, there goes another problem ker-,
 C          Am    Dm              G
oops, there goes another problem ker-,
 C          Am     Dm       G                C     G   C
oops, there goes another problem kerplop, kerplop?
