Ant Lyrics by They Might Be Giants

TMBG’s Other Thing Brass Band (EP)

2004

There's an ant crawling up your back in the nighttime
There's an ant crawling up your back in the nighttime
But you think that's OK while you're sleeping
That ant crawls in your hair in the nighttime
That ant crawls in your hair in the nighttime
But you think that's OK while you're sleeping
Some day that ant, he may grow up to be president
Some day that ant, he may grow up to be president
But you think that's OK while you're sleeping
The president calls your name in the nighttime
The president calls your name in the nighttime
But you think that's OK while you're sleeping
The men ransack your house in the nighttime
The men ransack your house in the nighttime
While the ant crawls up your back while you're sleeping
