about

I've got ants in my pants! Eek! This is a silly song about ants being in different articles of clothing and involves a lot of shaking, but there's a lesson here for older children: if someone is bothering you or a friend is being mean, instead of trying a lot of short-term solutions, have a chat. Ask why. You might get a surprising answer that makes you realise that if you asked earlier, you would've saved yourself a lot of time and trouble.

lyrics

Oh, I've got ants in my pants and I can't get 'em out and so I'll shake 'em
Oh, I've got ants in my pants and I can't get 'em out and so I'll shake 'em
Oh no, I can't get them out! What do I do?
They refuse to come out, so I'll move them to my shoe.
Ah, they've stopped wiggling. I can take a nap.

Oh, I've got ants in my shoe and I can't get 'em out and so I'll shake 'em
Oh, I've got ants in my shoe and I can't get 'em out and so I'll shake 'em
Oh, I've got ants in my shoe, I'm going berserk!
I can't get them out, so I'll move them to my shirt.
Ah, they've stopped wiggling. I can take a nap.

Oh, I've got ants in my shirt and I can't get 'em out and so I'll shake 'em
Oh, I've got ants in my shirt and I can't get 'em out and so I'll shake 'em
Oh, I've got ants in my shirt. Ants beware:
If you won't come out, then I'll move you to my hair.
Ah, they've stopped wiggling. I can take a nap.

Oh, I've got ants in my hair. They don't want to come out and so I'll shake 'em
Oh, I've got ants in my hair. They don't want to come out and so I'll shake 'em
Oh, I've got ants in my hair. Do you think there's a chance
that they'd like it better if I moved them to my pants?
Now wait! That would be silly!
Isn't that where they started?
Why don't we ask the ants what they want….

Oh Mister Ant, Mister Ant, why won't you come out when I shake you?
Oh Mister Ant, Mister Ant, why won't you come out when I shake you?
And Mister Ant said,
"When you sat on my house I thought you wanted to play,
And I like getting tickles, so I tickled all day!
Thank you for playing. Now I'll leave and I'll take a nap."
