This verse is the most interesting of all. It’s not a marching song, but a dance. The ants go marching off to war, and they don’t come back again! The ants are fighting soldiers who have been called into service by their king. They are going “to conquer the world.”

The ants have no weapons, so they use their bodies as weapons by marching in unison and stamping their feet in rhythm.
