help...i need the lyrics to a song

[bearfartinthewoods]

it's stuck in my head and it's been my experience that the only way to dislodge a song on auto-repeat is to actually sing it out of my system but to do that i need the lyrics.

because i like most of you and i firmly believe that songs like this are contagious, i'm gonna space down repeatedly so you have a chance now to close out of the thread if you feel you are suseptable to getting song stuck. ok.....for your own protection....this is a beast of a song...well actually, the meaning is sort of cool but trust me, you don't want this...

1. high hopes

he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes, he's got apple pie in the sky hopes

that's how that ant, can, move a rubber tree plant, because of high hopes, high hopes

drat, I can't remember the rest the song, I thought for sure that if I started typing it out it would come to me

[bearfartinthewoods]

10. that;s just about where i was with it.

if you see NSMA, warn her i'm lookin' for her.

she's the one who stuck me with it :grin:

she didn't mean to. it was her thread in 'ask admin' with pie in the title about the DU fundraising. somehow, reading that post set off that song and it has been bugging me for hours.

but, the cure worked. three fortisimo performances and i'm cured.

the cats, however have vaccated the premises ...ooops.

2. Here ya go...

The lyrics to "High Hopes" (as sung by the often imitated but never duplicated Mr. Frank Sinatra)

Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam

'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam

All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop

Knock yourself out hon.

As a Italian male, I still like to listen to some of the old stuff. Frank, Dean, Bobby Vinton (the Polish Prince). God Blass America!
