We all know the story about the grasshopper
Sitting around by the pool, he's cool
And on the other hand are, ants!
And what are they doing?
That's right!
Now, back to the grasshoppers
Sitting around by the pool
Hawaiian floral print shirts
Sunglasses
They disdain the work of the hands
"My mind is on the higher things of life"
You can see that of course
"My mind is on the higher things of life"
But, the ants exhort:
Sing of the work of the hands
Why hold back & cheat yourself
Out of joy?
But enjoy
The fruits of labor to the full
Don't hold back
(Don't hold back)
For the heart & weary soul refreshment finds
The winter comes
Time to enjoy the fruits of labor
To contemplate the work of the hands
In the evening of the day
In the winter of the year
These are the best things
To look back on a day well spent
And to go to bed with a sense of accomplishment
Yes
And now...
Back to the grasshoppers
You can see that his mind's on the higher things, of course
Alot of good it does, hunh?
Well...
It doesn't matter, we're at the end of the song now
We've had the moral of the story and, now, here comes my favorite part
An*Ominous*Shadow*Glides*Low*Across*The*Pool
That's right okay
Fair enough you say
So, what happens next?
Well...
What happens next is --nothing--
