Do Your Ears Hang Low? (Audio Sample and Lyrics)
Patient: Hi kids,
do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
This is what I have
to put up with each and every day.
Patient: Doctor, doctor!
Doctor: Yes,
how can I be of assistance?
Patient: My ears!
Doctor: My oh my!
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 toss them over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier
Do your ears hang low?
Patient:
Yes my ears hang low
They do wobble to and fro
I can tie them in a knot
I can tie them in a bow
I can toss them over my shoulder
Like a continental soldier
Yes my ears hang low
What are you gonna do about it?
Doctor:
How dare you!
Have I already asked you this?
Patient: You're standing on my ears!
Doctor: Ups
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 toss them over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier
Do your ears hang low?
Patient:
Yes my ears hang low
They can wobble to and fro
I can tie them in a knot
I can tie them in a bow
I can toss them over my shoulder
Like a continental soldier
Yes my ears hang low
Doctor: Oh they do hang low
Patient: Yes my ears hang low
They don't hang low, do they?
Doctor: Oh yes, they do.
Next please!

Background notes
Another piece sung by a drummer: Steve Farmer sang both parts, the patient and the doctor. The quality of the medication seems to be similar to this doctor's work: Miss Polly had a Dolly. Apart from these consideration there is not too much meaning behind the lines. Just enjoy it as it is meant to be: Nonsense.
