Carl was a boy with incredible ears
They were red and gigantic
And shaped like pears
The poor little kid had almost no joy
For he had no friends and was a lonely boy
He tried hard to make friends but it went not so well
Little idea he had he was watched from
Hell
He tried and he tried
But was rejected each time
And Carl always said
It's because of these ears of mine
He told the other kids that he was very cool
Carl, poor boy, was always alone at school
So one night he wished and he wished very hard
Till at twelve o clock
A man in a cloak appeared in his yard
The man in the cloak made almost no sound
When he came up to Carl
Over the ice cold ground
You wish to have small ears like any other kid
The man said devious
Well this is my bid
You give your soul and I give you your ears
These small once barely resemble pears
So Carl accepted the bid and it worked very well
He had no idea he was still watched from
Hell
Nobody laughed at his ears anymore
He even made friends and his life was better than before
But then one day when he played at a swing
It was a warm day at the beginning of Spring.
The devil appeared and laughed very loud
I claim your soul Carl, I'm just so proud
Carl screamed and screamed
The devil's eyes glowed red
As Carl was pulled towards his horrible death
So Carl was finally confronted with his biggest fears
And the only things left of him were his gigantic red ears
Nooit zal hij goed naar muziek kunnen luisteren met een koptelefoon van Philips
hij kan in ieder geval vliegen als dumbo!
