My anteater's growing thinner
Doesn't like ants for his dinner
Won't eat ants if boiled or roasted
Won't eat ants if baked or toasted

Won't eat ants if briskly fried up
Won't eat ants if slowly dried up
Ant burgers won't get a look in
Nor will ant-filled treacle pudding

Won't eat ants if mashed and mangled
Won't eat ants if lightly scrambled
Curried ants are far too spicy
Ant risotto's far too ricey

Won't eat ants with margarine on
Won't eat ants with double cream on
Won't eat ants with jam inside them
Turns his nose up, just won't try them

Won't eat ants in Dijon mustard
Dipped in cold vanilla custard
Won't eat ants in crispy batter
Ketchup won't improve the matter

Won't eat ants with salt and pepper
Cream cheese, Stilton, Brie or feta
Won't eat ants in hot fajitas
He's an anti-ant anteater
