Once a little sugar ant made up his mind to roam - To fare away far away, far away from home. He had eaten all his breakfast, and he had his Ma’s consent To see what he should chance to see; and here’s the way he went - Up and down a fern frond, round and round a stone, Down a gloomy gully where he loathed to be alone, Up a mighty mountain range, seven inches high, Through the fearful forest grass that nearly hid the sky, Out along a bracken bridge, bending in the moss, Till he reached a dreadful desert that was feet and feet across. 'Twas a dry, deserted desert, and a trackless land to tread, He wished that he was home again and tucked-up tight in bed. His little legs were wobbly, his strength was nearly spent, And so he turned around again and here’s the way he went - Back away from desert lands, feet and feet across, Back along the bracken bridge bending in the moss, Through the fearful forest grass, shutting out the sky, Up a mighty mountain range seven inches high, Down a gloomy gully, where he loathed to be alone, Up and down a fern frond and round and round a stone. A dreary ant, a weary ant, resolved no more to roam, He staggered up the garden path and popped back home.
