[Intro]
Next time you're found
With your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned
So look around
[Verse 1]
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant
[Chorus]
But he's got high hopes
He's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes
[Post-Chorus]
So any time you're gettin' low
'Stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant:
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call
And your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned:
That wall could fall
[Verse 2]
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram scram;
He kept buttin' that dam
[Chorus]
'Cause he had high hopes
He had high hopes
He had high apple pie in the sky hopes
[Post-Chorus]
So any time you're feelin' bad
'Stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam
[Outro]
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go, "Pop!"
Oops, there goes another problem: Kerplop!
Oops, there goes another problem: Kerplop!
anteater: i'm gonna fuck you up.
A giant anteater can consume up to 30,000 ants in a single day!
Giant anteaters, as their name implies, are the largest anteater species in the world. They inhabit grasslands and rainforests across Central and South America.
When a giant anteater locates an ant hill or termite mound, they tear it open with their claws and vacuum up the ants using their long snouts. Their tongues are covered in thousands of tiny hooks, aiding in the extraction of ants and termites. The tongue is attached directly to the sternum, allowing it to flick in and out up to 150 times per minute, making them highly effective feeders!
Generally slow-moving, they can sprint short distances when necessary. When not foraging, they spend much of their time sleeping, using their furry tails as a warming blanket.
Daryl Hall approves this message. No word from John Oates.

but technically she doesn't chew:
"The anteater's stomach, similar to a bird's gizzard, has hardened folds and uses strong contractions to grind the insects, a digestive process assisted by small amounts of ingested sand and dirt"

@Suzdal92 while definitely it's an improvement over the original lyrics there's a factual error in this one too: anteaters could not chew since they have no teeth
Woke up with this song in my head 😁
