00:00In the summer the ants were so busy
00:19Storing food for the cold winter days
00:23While the grasshopper laughed in the sunshine
00:28On his guitar he strummed and he played
00:33La dee da dee da doo da da dee
00:37La dee doo dee da dee la la la dee
00:42I will sing and I'll dance in the sunshine
00:46There's plenty of time for work and for play
00:53When the autumn leaves started to fall
00:57The ants worked hard, they were wise and prepared
01:02The grasshopper said, why not join the fun
01:06He just sang while the ants really cared
01:10La dee da dee da doo da da dee
01:15La dee doo dee da dee la la la dee
01:20I will sing and I'll dance in the sunshine
01:24There's plenty of time for work and for play
01:29Water came with its icy cold weather
01:33Snowflakes fell and the sun went away
01:38Grasshopper shivered, he was so hungry
01:42He regretted the games he did play
01:46La dee da dee da dee la la la dee
01:56I am cold and I'm lost in this winter
01:59Oh, I wish I had worked for a warm sunny day
02:08He climbed up the hill to the ant hill
02:11Feeling sorry for all of his fun
02:16But the ants welcomed him in from the cold
02:20Sharing food, he learned he should have begun
02:25La dee da dee da doo da da dee
02:29La dee doo dee da dee la la la dee
02:33Now I see that hard work is important
02:37First comes the work that I'll play all day
