Do Your Ears Hang Low Lyrics
*Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your
shoulder?
Like a regimental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Do your ears stand high?
Do they point up to the sky?
Do they hang down when they're wet?
Do they stand up when they're dry?
Can you telephone your neighbours?
With a minimum of labour?
Do your ears stand high?
Do your ears stand out?
Can you wave them all about?
Can you point them East and West?
Can you point them North and South?
Can you eat peanut butter?
With a flutter, flutter, flutter?
Do your ears stand out?
