do your ears (balls) hang low
do your ears (balls) hang low do your balls 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 regimental (continental)soldier?
 do your balls hang low?
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- this song has certainly been around from the boer war, and probably a fair bit longer.
 one of a series of songs that are sung with hand, arm and body gestures and movement.
