The ants go marching...


Two ant colonies went to war in my backyard. They fought for 5 hours with no clear winner before I gave up watching at sundown. There were probably thousands of them, filling a space of about 1 sq. ft., and of course i didn't think to take a "battle field" picture showing them all...

The ants go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching six by six,
The little one stops to pick up sticks
And they all go marching down around the town
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching seven by seven,
The little one stops to go to heaven
And they all go marching down around the town
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching eight by eight,
The little one stops to shut the gate
And they all go marching down around the town
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


The ants go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching nine by nine,
The little one stops to scratch his spine
And they all go marching down around the town
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


The ants go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching ten by ten,
The little one stops to say "THE END"
And they all go marching down around the town
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
