Connie Francis - High Hopes lyrics

(Sammy Cahn - James VanHeusen)

Next time your found

With your chin on the ground

There's 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 feelin' low stead of lettin' go

Just remember that ant

Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.

When troubles call

And your back's to the wall

There a lots 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

Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam.

So keep those high hopes

Keep those high hopes

Keep that apple pie

In the sky hopes.

All problems just a toy balloon

They'll be bursted soon

They're just bound to go pop

Oops, there goes, another problem, kerplop.

Oops, there goes, another problem, kerplop...
