Song lyrics to High Hopes (1959) Written by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, written for A Hole in the Head

Buy from Amazon Next time you’re found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant

But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
