If you can't beat 'em, join 'em - I'm now a Myrmecologist!
We've reached a truce, some might say it's daft
But they build their bridges, with bodies of the dead
I've waged a losing war, against this arthropod corps
I've tried every trick, from spray to sticky traps
Now I've had an epiphany, as I watch them toil away
So I'll put down me weapons, and with them I'll coexist
These kamikaze crawlers, have gone straight to me head
I've laid out poison, placed boots 'round every leg
Oh, the ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
But of tiny black insects, marching like bureaucrats
But these six-legged squatters, they're clever little chaps
The ants keep marching, one by one
But at least now, the floor's spotless fore and aft!
Of table and chair, like some mad peg-legged peg
They've claimed me sugar bowl, and now they want me honey jar
There's a parade in me kitchen, not of proud men in hats
In me kitchen, the battle's done
Cleaning up me crumbs, like a free maid service, hey!
But the ants keep marching, one by one, hurrah
