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? Do your ears fall off? Do they dangle when you cough? Can you juggle them for fun? And put them back when you are done? Can you do some origami? Can you chew them like salami? Do your ears fall off? In the United Kingdom, a shorter version with differences in the lyrics is heard, commonly sung in Cubs and Brownies events:   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? The lyrics of the World War I version of "Do Your Balls Hang Low?" are recorded as:   Do your balls hang low? Do they dangle to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Do they itch when it's hot? Do you rest them in a pot? Do you get them in a tangle? Do you catch them in a mangle? Do they swing in stormy weather? Do they tickle with a feather? Do they rattle when you walk? Do they jingle when you talk? Can you sling them on your shoulder Like a lousy fucking soldier? Do your balls hang low?
