High Hopes |
|
This song is my personal favorite. Gram used to sing it to us whenever we’d have a really horrible, no good, bad, terrible, frightfully awful day. She’d start off by singing,
"Next time you're found with your chin
on the ground
There's a lot to be learned, so look around."
My brothers, sister, and I would look up and down, to the right and left,
over our shoulders, and spin around. Then Gram would let loose with the
High Hopes song and we’d all belt out the chorus.
Singing this song always made us feel better straight away. Gram was better
than fireworks and cotton candy for making us forget about what had made
us glum in the first place.

| Just what makes that little
ole ant But he's got hi-i-igh hopes, he's got hi-i-igh
hopes So any time you're gettin' low, 'stead of lettin'
go, just remember that ant When troubles call and your back's to the wall Once there was a silly old ram 'cause he had hi-i-igh hopes, he had hi-i-igh hopes So, any time you’re feelin' bad, 'stead of
feelin' sad, just remember that ram Then Gram would finish up with Then we’d all make the Oops, there goes another problem ker-plop Ker-plop! |
