I was sitting in my sandbox out in back
When some ants decided that they'd attack
They crawled up my leg and under my jeans
I did the craziest dance you've ever seen
I did the "I've Got Ants in My Pants" Dance
I jumped up and down and I rolled on the ground
I slapped at my knees and I said, "Won't you please
Get these ants out of my pants?"
Having a picnic down by the lake
I stepped in some mud, that was a mistake
Because first foot one, and then foot two
Got stuck in some mud, and I was stuck like glue
I did the "I Can't Movе Boogaloo"
I leaned to my left and I lеaned to my right
I was up to my knees and I said "Won't you please
Tell me what to do? The mud is like glue!"
At the swimming pool with my friends
We all decided that we'd jump in
But we forgot that it was the deep end
And none of us knew how to swim
We did the "Up to Our Chin, Save Yourself Swim"
We kicked and we splashed again and again
I said to my friends, "The next time we jump in
Let's make sure that it's the shallow end"
Down by the creek are rocks in the sand
Where the snakes like to go and get a suntan
When I went fishing at my fishing hole
One of those snakes started licking my toe
I did the "Ooh! There's a Snake Shimmy and Shake"
I shook my left foot and then my right
I said to that snake, "Don't make a mistake
Please let go of my big toe"
Last Saturday night at our family time
I thought my mom and dad had lost their minds
They brought out some records from the good old days
They started dancing in the strangest way
They said, "Come on, let's Twist! You move it like this
First you twist high, and then you twist low"
I gave it a chance, I almost lost my pants
But I think the Twist is a very good dance
I went canoeing in an African stream
Near the Jungle River where the crocodile's king
As I paddled to the shore, I got quite a shock
Waiting for me were five hungry crocs
I did the "Crocodile Rock" right there on the dock
I acted just like I was one of them
I heard one croc say, "Let's let him get away
I'd like some meat, but he's too crazy to eat"
Throwing my football out in the front yard
Running barefoot and playing hard
One of my friends tossed the ball and said, "Catch!"
And I ran right through a sticker patch
I did the "I Couldn't Stop, Sticker Patch Hop"
I hopped on my left foot, and then on my right
You can't make touchdowns if you're hopping around
Stickers in your feet are not neat
Now my teachers says that our class likes to squirm
She calls us her wiggle worms
Oh, we love to wiggle, and we know it's true
She lets us do this dance, and I'll teach it to you
You do the "Twist and Turn, Wiggle Worm Squirm"
You act just like you were a big earthworm
It's fun to pretend, we'll have to do it again
But this dancing song has come to an end
