Fatty Rascal's Big Ears
Fatty Rascal burst into tears
When someone said he had “big ears”
For big ears indeed Fatty had
He got them from his mom and dad
His ears where massive
Hung down to his knees
And flapped around
In the windy breeze
What with his big ears,
Friends called him Jumbo
And Fatty was dumb
A bit of a dumbo
He confronted his parents
“Why the big ears” he did rant
“You’ve big ears” they replied
“Because you’re an elephant”
“OK, the big ears
Are alright, I suppose”
” I guess it also explains
Why I have such a long nose”
