Cricket Versus Ant

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The moon shone down with a silvery light And a little voice told me I was bound to be all right He said, "Don't you worry, my little golden child Let the other ones work, why don't you just run wild?" [Verse 2] Some work hard while others work harder To put up the jam and fill up the larder Let the other ones work these lovely days away You are the one who would rather sport and play [Chorus] I rubbed my knees together and just played along When I heard the crickets singing their bowleggеd song If it all goes terribly wrong Maybe it won't takе long [Bridge] We came to our destruction through fire and through water Through the cruel machinations of the vengeful daughter The earth that trembled destroyed all we had made Many were lost still many more were saved [Verse 3] Some plant in the springtime to reap in the fall Watch the trees in their orchards grow heavy and tall While the lilies of the field swaying half drunk with pride Stand gaping at the sky, their pretty mouths open wide [Chorus] I rubbed my knees together and just played along When I heard the crickets singing their bowlegged song If it all goes terribly wrong Maybe it won't take long If it all goes terribly wrong Maybe it won't take long
