High Hopes lyrics
by Antônio Carlos Jobim
[Intro]
Next time you're found
With your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned
So look around
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But he's got high hopes
He's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes
[Post-Chorus]
So any time you're gettin' 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 lot to be learned:
That wall could fall
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause he had high hopes
He had high hopes
He had high apple pie in the sky hopes
[Post-Chorus]
So any time you're feelin' bad
'Stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam
[Outro]
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!
