OOPS! There Goes Another Rubber Tree Plant!

The letter O stands for OOPS!

Whether it is sung by Frank Sinatra or Doris Day or someone else ... the song, HIGH HOPES, can lighten and brighten your day! :)

Next time you're found with your chin on the ground
There's a lot to be learned so look around
Just what makes that little ol' 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
So any time you're getting low
'Stead of letting go,
Just remember that ant.

Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.

When troubles call and your back's to the wall
There's a lot to be learned, that wall could fall.
Once there was a silly ol' ram,
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam;
No one could make that ram scram,
He kept buttin' that dam

But he's got high hopes... he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes
So any time you're feeling bad
'Stead of feeling sad
Just remember that ram.

Oops there goes a billion kilowatt
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam!

So keep your high hopes, keep your high hopes.
Keep your high apple pie in the sky hopes.

A problem's just a toy balloon
They'll be bursting soon
They're just bound to go POP!

Oops there goes another problem kerplop.
Oops there goes another problem kerplop.
Oops there goes another problem kerplop.

Kerplop!

What are your HIGH HOPES for today, this week, this year?

  4. I am so glad you reminded me of this song. I have to download it so I can hear it again. I love that song. My high hopes right now are to get over this nasty case of bronchitis and to finish the A-Z challenge. Then I hope to finish a ms that I have proposed to an editor and she likes the idea. I just have to write it. When I am done coughing.
