The Lone Ant

Brett Davison
The ants go marching five by five
hurrah, hurrah,
The ants go marching five by five
hurrah, hurrah,

The ants go marching five by five,
With torches, guns and bloody knives

And they all go marching down
To the ground
To get out of the rain

The ants go marching four by four
hurrah, hurrah,
The ants go marching four by four
hurrah, hurrah,

The ants go marching four by four
Then they stop to burn a store

And they all go marching down
To the ground
To get out of the rain

The ants go marching three by three
hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching three by three
hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching three by three
They hang their neighbors from a tree

And they all go marching down
To the ground
To get out of the rain

An ant goes marching all alone
hurrah, hurrah
An ant goes marching all alone
hurrah, hurrah,

The ant goes marching all alone
He does what's right and stands his own

And he kneels down
As he prays for rain

    Deep. I know this is not meant literally, but I wish the ants around here would all go away.

    This is different...but the message is loud and clear.
