Ants on the Patio

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Went out back with a lemonade Found a red-hot highway in the shade Tiny little devils in the thyme Marchin' like they own my yard this time They bit my heel, they bit my pride Built a hill right where the rosesाइड And every step that I would take Sent the whole sweet lawn awake [Pre-Chorus] Oh, they came in lines Straight through the clover Oh, I shut the gate But they crawled right over [Chorus] Fire ants in the yard, fire ants in the yard Burnin' up my weekend, takin' it hard Fire ants in the yard, fire ants in the yard (ant attack) they keep marchin' through my heart [Verse 2] Then I swung the door and smelled that mess Roaches in the kitchen, I confess Under the sink and behind the flour Throwin' a block party by the hour I flipped the light and saw them scatter Little dark feet and a whole lot of chatter By the bread box, by the stove They got bold when the rent got low [Pre-Chorus] Oh, they came in twos Then they came in dozens Oh, I cleaned all night Still they kept on buzzin' [Chorus] Fire ants in the yard, fire ants in the yard Burnin' up my weekend, takin' it hard Fire ants in the yard, fire ants in the yard (ant attack) they keep marchin' through my heart [Bridge] I want one clean floor One calm patch of grass I want my life back And I want it fast [Breakdown] Clap your hands, stomp the floor Spill that salt at the door One more sweep, one more light Get out my house, get out my sight [Final Chorus] Fire ants in the yard, fire ants in the yard Burnin' up my weekend, takin' it hard Fire ants in the yard, fire ants in the yard (ant attack) they keep marchin' through my heart Roaches in the kitchen, roaches in the kitchen I want my home back, wishin' and wishin' Fire ants in the yard, fire ants in the yard (ant attack) let me breathe again, Lord
