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 a bear_ comb-ing_ his hair
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
F
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
C7
Can you tie them in a bow?
F
Can you throw them o’er your shoulder
like a continental soldier?
F C7 F
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

Lyrics
As I was a goin' over the far-famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Bbarrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol and I then produced me rapier,
Saying, "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver."
Chorus
Ringum, doorum-a-da,
Whack fol my daddy O,
Whack fol my daddy O,
There's whiskey in the jar.
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
Repeat Chorus
I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
Jenny took me pistol. She filled it up with water
Then sent for captain Bbarrell to be ready for the slaughter.
Repeat Chorus
'twas early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of coopers and likewise captain Bbarrell
I first produced me pistol for me rapier she had stolen
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
Repeat Chorus
If there's anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
If he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
Repeat Chorus
There's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
And others take delight in the hurling and the bowling,
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
Repeat Chorus
