Did you ev-er see a goose_ kissing a moose
Did you ev-er see a whale with a polka dot tail
Did you ev-er see a fly_ wear-ing a tie

Did you ev-er see llamas eating their pyjamas
Did you ev-er have a time when you couldn't make a rhyme

Do Your Ears Hang Low
A
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
E7
Can you tie them in a bow?
A
Can you throw them o’er your shoulder
like a continental soldier?
A E7 A
Do your ears hang low?
OTHER VERSES:
Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when they are wet?
Do they stiffen when they’re dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbour
with a minimum of labour?
Do your ears hang high?
Do your ears flip-flop?
Can you use them for a mop?
Are they stringy at the bottom?
Are they curly at the top?
Can you use them for a swatter?
Can you use them for a blotter?
Do your ears flip-flop?
Do your ears hang out?
Can you waggle them about?
Can you flip them up and down
as you fly around the town?
Can you shut them up for sure
when you hear an awful bore?
Do your ears hang out
