以下是The Ant and the Grasshopper的歌詞：
Ant: Look at me, I'm busy all year
Building my nest and storing food
Hopper: Oh, no, I'm busy all summer
Playing and singing and having fun
Ant: Winter's coming, I'll be safe then
With my nest and food I'll be a winner
Hopper: Oh, no, I'll have nowhere to go
To find food and a place to sleep
Ant: Work and plan for the future
It's what wise ants do all the time
Hopper: I'll worry about tomorrow
When I'm having fun today
(Chorus)
The ant and the hopper both play
But in different ways
The ant saves for the future
The hopper plays
Ant: It's a wise bird that plans for winter
With food to eat and a warm place to rest
Hopper: I'll work hard, I'll play hard
It's the way my life should be
(Chorus)
If you work hard now you'll be safe
In future days
You can play now, but save for the future
Or you might be like the grasshopper.
