Do your ears hang low?

[PurplePixie]

Please could someone give me the words for this song which is driving me nuts..PLEEEEEESE!!!

[kazza12345]

when i was little it was :

do your ears hang low

do they wobble to and fro

can you tie them in a knot

canyou tie them in a bow

can you toss them over your shoulder

like a regimental soldier

do your ears hang low

[kev100]

I remember the ditty well but where I'm from it wasn't the EARS that hung low.

[kazza12345]

lol i hate to think what you've got hanging low .....

[smudge]

I've never heard of 'ears' either - I thought it was something you juggle with!

[Lillabet]

I knew this rhyme when I was little - and it was definitely 'ears' then. Apparently there are quite few verses - see here for the words: http://www.theteachersguide.com/Songs/do_your_ears_hang_low.htm

Ah, bless you Lillibet! -x-

I knew one that wasn't ears.

Do your .... hang low?  Can you swing e'm to and fro'?

Can you tie 'em in a knot?  Can you tie 'em in a bow?

Do you get a funny feeling, when you hit 'em on the ceiling?

Something or other do your ..... hang low?

[Peter Pedant]

do you get a funny feeling as you bang them on the ceiling

you'll never make man if your ears hang low......I think

Ntalie I am shocked: were you once a rugby player?

[Skids]

All to the tune of the Sailor's Hornpipe.

[smudge]

That's the one I was thinking of natalie & sung to the tune skids is referring to!

[PurplePixie]

oh thankyou one & all...now I can get it out of my head once & for all....phew...

[natalie_1982]

Yes Peter..... Grrrrrr.

[Lorcan]

The 'something other than ears hang low' version was once sung by Rik Mayall in an episode of Bottom.
