lyrics

Oh big eared boy
Look at me I’ve got ‘em too
So did my Abba who
Got ‘em from my Oupa. But that was long before you

Sometimes the sun shines through
And turns those dishes deep red
It's like you’ve got stained glass attached to the side of your head

Oh big eared boy
once a president named Barack
Wrote you a letter saying “Big ears rock!"
He said, “The things that make us different are the very things that make us strong"

But they attract mosquito bites
Cause they stick out like SETI satellites
You might hear the aliens before the rest of us do

(big eared boy)
You’re a superhearer flying high
(big eared boy)
Recognizable from far and wide
(big eared boy)
Bring your auditory might
To share the joys of nature’s noise with all of us tonight

Oh big eared boy
Be proud of all that you’ve got
Some have little, you’ve got a lot
It’s a thing that makes you special, and you look just like your pop

So cut your hair short, keep it trim
Set your flappers free in the wind
It’s a magical feeling, just let it blow in

(big eared boy)
You’re a superhearer flying high
(big eared boy)
Recognizable from far and wide
(big eared boy)
Bring your auditory might
To share the joys of nature’s noise with boys and girls and bugs and squirrels and all of us tonight

Oh big eared boy
I know that it can be hard
But it’s our family’s giant calling card
And pumping all that blood up there, it gives us really big hearts

It might sound like I’m making fun
But you’re beautiful A #1
And hey, I wouldn’t want to have a small eared boy as my son
My big eared boy
