Lyrics ~ Dickie Bird. 1995
The ants go marching 1 by 1 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 1 by 1 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 1 by 1
The little one stopped to scratch his bum
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 2 by 2 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 2 by 2 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 2 by 2
The little one stopped to do a poo
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 3 by 3 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 3 by 3 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 3 by 3
The little one stopped to do a pee
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 4 by 4 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 4 by 4 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 4 by 4
The little one stopped to pee some more
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 5 by 5 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 5 by 5 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 5 by 5
The little one's glad just to be alive
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 6 by 6 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 6 by 6 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 6 by 6
The little one stopped to get a fix
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 7 by 7 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 7 by 7 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 7 by 7
The little one thinks he must be in heaven
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 8 by 8 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 8 by 8 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 8 by 8
The little one stopped to masturbate
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 9 by 9 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 9 by 9 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 9 by 9
The little one stopped to drink urine
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 10 by 10 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 10 by 10 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 10 by 10
The little one stopped to wank again
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 11 by 11 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 11 by 11 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 11 by 11
The little one shagged the one they call Kevin
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 12 by 12 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 12 by 12 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 12 by 12
And into each others arses they all do delve
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 13 by 13 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 13 by 13 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 13 by 13
The little one stopped to shag the queen
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 14 by 14 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 14 by 14 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 14 by 14
The little one's gone and ruptured his spleen
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 15 by 15 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 15 by 15 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 15 by 15
The little one shags the one that's gone green
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 16 by 16 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 16 by 16 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 16 by 16
Two of them shagging with one in between
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 17 by 17 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 17 by 17 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 17 by 17
The little one's going like Barry Sheen
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 18 by 18 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 18 by 18 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 18 by 18
The little one does something very obscene
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 19 by 19 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 19 by 19 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 19 by 19
So much fun there never has been
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
The ants go marching 20 by 20 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 20 by 20 Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching 20 by 20
They've all gone and got diseases a plenty
And they all go marching down, in the ground, to get out of the rain.
