Two versions are shown below.

Version 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?

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?

Version 2

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?

Does your tongue hang down?
Does it flop all around?
Can you tie it in a knot?
Can you tie it in a bow?
Can you throw it o'er your shoulder
like a Continental Soldier?
Does your tongue hang down?

Does your nose hang low?
Does it wiggle to and fro?
Can you tie it in a knot?
Can you tie it in a bow?
Can you throw it o'er your
shoulder like a Continental Soldier?
Does your nose hang low?

Do your eyes pop out?
Do they bounce all about?
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 eyes pop out?

Do your eyeballs droop
do they wobble in your soup
can you tie them in a loop
can you wind them on a hoop
do your eyeballs droop!

The following verses are copyright 1998 by Lawrence, Ann, Benjamin, and Katherine Sulky

Do your ears stretch wide? Do they reach from side to side?
Can you use them as a parachute
or wings that let you glide?
Can you cast a cooling shadow
over most of Colorado?
Do your ears stretch wide?

Are your ears too big? Are they heavy as a pig?
Do they bruise your cerebellum
when you dance an Irish jig?
Can they function as the anchors
for a fleet of oil tankers?
Are your ears too big?

Are your ears real small? Barely visible at all?
Do they look just like two peanuts stuck onto a bowling ball?
Can you store them in a thimble when you're feeling rather nimble?
Are your ears real small?

Are your ears quite clean? Do they have a lovely sheen?
Did you harvest all the vegetables that grow down in between?
Did you wash out all the soil after all your farming toil?
Are your ears quite clean?

Are your ears so thin? Do the breezes make 'em spin?
Can you shine a light right through them like the finest onionskin?
Can you wrap up a salami? Do they fold like origami?
Are your ears so thin?

Silly Kids Songs-Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Posted on May 26, 2016 by Daria | Leave a comment

Singing or learning a silly song with your child is a great tension reliever, a fun way to play with language and creates great family memories.

I bet you know the first part of this classic silly kids song.   But, do you know all the verses?  How about these two?

Do your ears hang wide?
Do they flap from side to side?
Do they wave in the breeze
With the slightest little sneeze?
Can you soar above the nation?
With a feeling of elation?
Do your ears hang wide?

Do your ears fall off?
Does it happen when you cough?
Do they lie there on the ground?
Or bounce around at every sound?
Can you stick them in your pocket
Like a little Davey Crockett?
Do your ears fall off?

The lyric sheet below has the six most popular verses and – I warn you – they are not the easiest thing to sing. Try the words and the hand motions and see if you don’t end up laughing hysterically at how hard this simple little song can be!

What About The Hand Motions?

Naturally, lots of popular kids songs are also action rhymes.  These types of songs are prefect for learning coordination and motor skills – at any age!

I’ve seen quite a few sets of hand motions for this song.  The most popular set of boy scout hand motions are described here:   http://www.scoutorama.com/do-your-ears-hang-low-song

Go Ahead, You Can Sing It!

Some moms, dads and caregivers feel a bit ashamed about singing out loud.   They tell me they don’t have the best voices or can’t carry a tune in a bucket.  No worries.  Most people can manage to hear a tune and most kids will not behave like judges on American Idol… they just want to have fun with you!

And; by the way, the sweetest thing a child will ever hear if a loved one’s voice – so go ahead and belt it out!

What your ears are talking about

Yesterday I read an excellent book on Chinese medicine, except for diagnostics on the condition of the face and skin, there was interesting information about the ears, then I took a closer look at this part of the body. After all, there is a projection of all organs on the ears, it’s such a brain brought out, that is, you look at a person, you can’t see the brain behind the hair) But you look at the ears, everything is immediately visible :) Then I read physiognomy, some publications on the topic of ears and realized that you have to look for your fate in three organs: ear, nose and .... of course, the heart. Somehow I’ll write about my nose separately, I learned everything about mine yesterday, how much strength, character, health and love of men my nose shape brings me .. There are a lot of discoveries, I’ll also share with you, my dear friends, but for now EARS. I post a description below, this is a compilation from a book on Chinese medicine, a textbook on physiognomy and five articles, so it’s almost an author’s work.
So, any experiment, as a natural scientist, I start with myself.

The first thing that I managed to find out about myself as a result of comparing pictures and descriptions is that I was given to be wise and sincere from birth, who

from your ear)

Wisdom, sincerity, talent, musicality, once again wisdom, longevity and prosperity. That's what my ears are talking about.

Look at your ears and the ears of your friends and find out the whole truth)

Sign of longevity - earlobe

"Chinese physiognomists, while studying the structural features of the auricles in centenarians, managed to reveal an interesting fact. large, somewhat elongated sizes of the auricles - 7 - 7.5 cm with a thickened earlobe and a crest of the inner curl protruding outward. All these are signs of good health and longevity. The longer the earlobe, the longer the life of a person. If, moreover, such a person has a red mole on his ear, then he will definitely cross the centennial milestone.

An ear without a well-shaped lobe - an imbalance in the personality.
The earlobe leans slightly forward - sincerity

A sign of financial success

A person has a very high intelligence if the upper part of the ear is above the level of the eyebrows. He may achieve wide publicity and/or exceptional financial success.

When the upper part is above the level of the eyes, this means that the person will probably also achieve well-being, though not so stunning. If they are located below eye level, then IQ is average or even low. Geniuses have wide, thin, sloping ears. And a very long earlobe indicates a person of higher wisdom and spirituality. It is not for nothing that the Buddha is depicted with a long earlobe touching his shoulder. In addition, Chinese physiognomists believe that people with such a long lobe achieve a lot in life.

Sign of a nonconformist

Protruding ears betray a person who is independent in his judgments and does not look back at others. This creates problems in communicating with people. If the right ear is more protruding, then independence is manifested in business and social life. If the left sticks out more, these people are more independent in their personal lives.
If there is a transverse wrinkle on the lobe, or even two, then this may indicate excessive fatigue. Such a wrinkle is a kind of health detector: the greater its depth, the more stress a person experiences. He needs to rest and sleep well. As soon as a person rests for as long as his psyche and body need, the wrinkle will disappear.

Conformist sign

If ears are pressed to the head and almost touch the head with the outer edge, then such a person prefers to follow social norms known to you in everything and obey instructions. He knows very well what most people think. Doesn't look weird or too different from others. This knowledge of common interests and norms can be an asset in marketing.

Big ears. This is a sign of vitality and independence. You are energetic and like to do only what you want. Even taking into account the opinions of others, you will do everything your own way.

Small ears. Sensitive, delicate and refined people. However, some believe that people with small ears have a superficial mind, they are impulsive, emotional and unbalanced.

Large earlobes . The Buddha had very large and long earlobes. So if you have the same, it means that you are a lucky person. Everything comes easy to you and you know how to enjoy life. If you have problems, there will always be a person nearby who will lend a helping hand.

Ears that stick out. You are a very energetic person and are suitable for working with people, but not with paperwork.

Rounded ears. Understanding things is easy for you, but you don't always use your ingenuity. You will use your abilities only in those things that interest you. Children with such ears should be encouraged to find their own niche and excel in it.

Ears with protruding inner shell margin. Such people are successful in business, advertising, art. They are independent and original.

If the height of the ears is greater than the width of , this indicates a weak character. If it's the other way around, it's strong. If you have a large ear cavity , you are very sentimental and honest. And so, various types of human ears can be divided into the following groups.

Sign of deceit

If the ears are pointed at the top and slightly protruding - "fox ears" , then this speaks of the stubborn and tough nature of the person. Any trouble can be expected from such people: they are very smart, cunning and act solely in their own interests. Remember how, on old lithographs, artists painted sorcerers and vampires, and in general, all kinds of evil spirits with such “triangular” ears. These people do first, and only then think, which often leads to failures in their personal lives. A distinctive feature of these people is that they are usually very well developed physically.

A sign of passionate temperament

Small flat ears with an inner rim turned outward, covered with vellus hair, indicate a sexually anxious and voluptuous person prone to adultery.

If it is still difficult for someone to make an independent diagnosis of the ears. Throw your ears in the comments, help me, I have a lobe of sincerity and wisdom))

Ears are a mirror of your character and health. What will they say about you? :: Infoniak

Incredible facts

Did you know that each person has unique not only fingerprints, but also auricles.

In physiognomy, the ears represent your health and destiny at the age of 1 to 14 years. The right ear is an indicator of fate from 8 to 14 years, and the left from 0 to 7 years.

In addition, all earlobes can be divided into two types: free and adherent. If you have never paid attention to this, feel the tip of your earlobe - is it attached to the head or not?

Now look at the following image and answer which option is more similar to yours.

Ear character

1. Loose earlobe - generous and independent

If your earlobes hang freely, you are a free person, not very attached and not trying to live up to the expectations of society. You let life take its course and know that everything will work out in the end.

Despite your independence, you maintain close relationships with your narrow circle of people. People with loose earlobes devote themselves to only the most important people and things. You definitely live at your own pace, but you can't be called insensitive.

You always think about others and are ready to give a lot for the sake of your loved ones.

2. Attached earlobe - confident and purposeful

If your earlobes are connected, then you can be called a person who is deep in himself. You are well aware of all your actions and how they can affect others. Nothing escapes your gaze, you pay attention to everything that is happening around. You are confident in your decisions, and your eyes are always directed to the future.

However, there is one danger: you have a tendency to always assume that your opinion is correct. Try to listen to other people's opinions and try to look at everything from the other person's point of view.

Ear size

Big ears are a sign of vitality and longevity. The owners of such ears are lively and energetic. They are more willing to take risks than those with small ears. If your friend has big ears, then he or she is more likely to be a good listener.

People who have small ears are cautious, thoughtful, self-absorbed, but quite purposeful.

Ears of medium size indicate that a person finds a golden mean between risk and fear. At the same time, a person whose ears are noticeably different in size may experience many ups and downs in their life.

Ear shape

Rounded ears indicate a sociable, positive person with a rich imagination.

Slightly square ears indicates that you are practical, quick-witted, perceptive and capable of doing several things at the same time.

If the upper part of the ear is pointed , then such a person is secretive and mysterious. It takes a very long time to get to know this person better.

The protruding shape of the ears speaks of the independent nature of a person who does not like to be told what to do. People with this type of ear are stubborn and rarely take advice from others. However, these people easily attract money.

Ear arrangement

People with high-set ears (the ears are above the tip of the nose and end at the eyebrows) quickly grasp information, while people with with low-lying ears (the ears are below the eyebrows and the tip of the nose) absorb information more slowly.

Long ears (earlobes are located below the tip of the nose, and the top is above the eyebrows) are a sign of genius.

As a rule, the ears are slightly inclined (the upper part of the ear is slightly further than the earlobe), but if the angle of inclination is large enough, its owner is adamant and likes to control others.

Pinna curl

People with rounded pinna need mental stimulation. They are energetic and love to have a good time.

People with fine curl are impulsive, highly enthusiastic and extroverted by nature.

If the curl is very thin , the person will always be concerned about the questions of humanity as a whole.

Earlobes

Long earlobes are an indicator of a long and healthy life. They also say that the person is endowed with an excellent sense of understanding and judgment.

People with thick earlobes have many friends. They are hardworking, and their well-being tends to grow over the years. Women with thick earlobes are lucky in marriage and bring wealth to their husbands.

In general, very large earlobes is a sign of spiritual development and high status. If you have long and large earlobes , you will have incredible luck. You know how to enjoy life, and everything in life will be easy for you. Even if you get into trouble, they will always come to your aid.

Human health in the ears

• Ears of harmonious shape and size speak of good heredity and a strong immune system.

• Too hot or red ears (even if the symptoms appear suddenly and for a short time) may indicate problems with blood pressure and vascular disorders of the nervous system. People who often have burning ears are prone to aggression and react quickly to any external changes.

• Cold and pale ears may be a sign of dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, low blood pressure, general weakness and reduced brain activity.

• A bluish tint to the ears may indicate heart failure (even if other signs are not yet present), pulmonary and bronchial diseases.

• Pay attention to dark red or blue ears , which may be the result of diseases of the stomach and intestines, pancreas or liver.

• If the skin of the ears becomes shiny with brown or dark red spots (a sign of an imbalance of minerals in the body), this indicates general fatigue and problems with the intestines.

• If the ears are like pads (soft and thick) , the person has a tendency to become obese and mentally deficient.

• When there are many folds and wrinkles on the ears , this indicates a predisposition to diseases of the heart and blood vessels, including atherosclerosis, heart attack and diabetes.
