<P> Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie' em in a knot? Can you tie' em in a bow? Can you throw' em o'er your shoulder Like a continental soldier? Do your ears hang low? Do your ears stand high? Do they reach up to the sky? Do they droop when they are wet? Do they stiffen when they're dry? Can you wave them at your neighbor With an element of flavor? Do your ears stand high? Do your ears flip - flop? Can you use them as 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 stick out? Can you waggle them about? Can you flap 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 stick out? Do your ears give snacks? Are they all filled up with wax? Do you eat it in the morning Do you eat it in the bath? Do you eat it with a scone Or do you eat it on its own? Do your ears give snacks? </P> <P> In the United Kingdom, a shorter version with differences in the lyrics is heard, commonly sung in Cubs and Brownies events: </P> <P> Do your ears hang low? Can you swing them to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you swing them over your shoulder like a regimental soldier Do your ears hang low? </P> <P> (With a humorous glissando at a perfect fourth down, and back up again on the final "low".) </P>
