[Verse 1] Lying in the garden on a sunny afternoon Lemonade beside me, feeling groovy, feeling tuned Closed my eyes and drifted in the warm and lazy haze Life was pretty perfect on this golden summer day [Pre-Chorus] Then something started tickling Something wasn’t right I felt a little army Starting up a fight [Chorus] ANTS IN MY PANTS! There’s ants in my pants! They’re doing the conga, they’re doing a dance! I jumped to my feet, I did a crazy prance — ANTS! IN! MY! PANTS! [Verse 2] I leapt up like a rocket, I was thrashing all around The neighbors watched in horror as I hopped across the ground I ripped off every layer, did a spin across the lawn By the time I stopped my dancing all my dignity was gone [Pre-Chorus] A hundred little soldiers They had stormed the gate I should’ve read the warning signs — I sat on their estate! [Chorus] ANTS IN MY PANTS! There’s ants in my pants! They’re doing the conga, they’re doing a dance! I jumped to my feet, I did a crazy prance — ANTS! IN! MY! PANTS! [Bridge] [spoken/half-shouted]: I used to love the garden. I used to love the sun. I used to love a lazy day. NOW LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE. [Final Chorus — doubled, screamed] ANTS IN MY PANTS! There’s ants in my pants! They’re doing the conga, they’re doing a dance! I jumped to my feet, I did a crazy prance — ANTS! IN! MY! PANTS! [Outro] (repeat) Ants! Ants! Ants in my pants! Ants! Ants! Never standing a chance! (fade out with frantic guitar)
