“Do Your Ears Hang Low” is not an easy song to learn. Its tempo is rather fast and there is not much repetition in the lyrics. It is like a tongue twister. However, a lot of lines end with rhymes. Identify the rhyming words in each verse. Sing the song silently in your head and sing aloud only on the rhyming words. If you have another family member who can sing the song, both of you could start singing the song together quietly in your head and sing aloud only on the rhyming words. See if you could sing those rhyming words together at the same time. Here are the lyrics:

Do Your Ears Hang Low

  1. 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 o’er your shoulder

Like a continental soldier?

Do your ears hang low?

  1. 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?

 

  1. 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?

 

  1. Do your ears stand high?
    Do they reach up to the sky?
    Do they hang when they’re wet?
    Do they stand up when they’re dry?

Can you send-off for your neighbour

With a minimum of labour?
Do your ears stand high?
