(LAUGHING)
Come here, son.
Listen, the good book says,
the Lord provides.
There's food on every tree.
I see no reason to worry and work.
No, sir, not me.
Oh, the world owes us a living
Oh, the world owes us a living
(CHUCKLES)
You shouldn't soil your Sunday pants
like those other foolish ants
Come on, let's play
and sing and dance
(TRUMPETS PLAYING)
Hey!
(CHUCKLES)
Hi, Queenie.
You'll change that tune
when winter comes
and the ground is covered with snow.
Oh, wintertime's a long way off.
You dance? Let's go.
Oh, the world owes us a living
Oh, the world owes us a living
(CHUCKLES)
You shouldn't soil your Sunday pants
like those other foolish ants
Come on, let's play
and sing and dance
(WIND HOWLING)
Food, food.
(SNIFFING) Oh, Madam Queen,
wisest of ants,
don't throw me out.
Please give me a chance.
With ants,
just those who work may stay.
So, take your fiddle
and play.

(SNIFFLES)
I owe the world a living
(SNEEZES)
I owe the world a living
I've been a fool whole year long
and now I'm singing a different song
You were right
I was wrong
