Pay Now and Play Later

Value Song from the 15 minute Children's Musical "The Ants and the Grasshopper."  Perfect for Elementary School Chorus or any small group of children..

The message of this Musical is taken from the John Maxwell quote: "You can pay now and play later OR play now and pay later.  Either way you have to pay."    In the musical, the Grasshopper learns that if you wait to pay until later, the payment can be painful!
