🎶 The King with Donkey Ears – Song Lyrics 🎶
(Slow-paced, bouncy, and playful – ~88 BPM)

🎵 Verse 1

🎶 Long ago in a quiet land,
A king wore a crown and waved his hand.
But under his hat, oh what a fear—
The king had big donkey ears! 🐴👑

🎶 Every day, he wore his crown,
To hide what made him frown.
No one knew, not one soul near…
The king had donkey ears!

🎵 Verse 2

🎶 Barbers came and barbers went,
Each one left, their time was spent.
Till one young barber came one day—
He knelt down low and didn’t run away.

💇 Barber: “Y-y-your Majesty… I’ll try my best…”
🎶 He lifted the crown and saw the rest—
🎶 He gasped so big, his heart was fast…
The king looked down and said at last:

👑 King: “Shhh… You mustn’t tell a soul,
Or trouble will take its toll!”

🎵 Verse 3

🎶 The barber kept the secret tight,
But oh—it kept him up at night!
He couldn’t eat, he couldn’t sleep,
The secret made him ache so deep…

🎶 So near the river, he dug a hole,
And whispered softly, heart and soul:
💬 “The king has donkey ears… I swear!”
He covered the hole and left it there.

🎵 Verse 4

🎶 But from that hole grew tall green reeds,
And when the wind blew through their seeds—
The wind began to hum and sing:
🌿 “The king has donkey ears… oh king!”

🎶 The whispers flew through every town,
They reached the castle, reached the crown.
👑 “What is this?!” the king did cry—
Then sighed and looked up to the sky.

🎵 Verse 5

🎶 He walked to the river, still and slow,
And let his hat fall down below.
🎩 “These are my ears. Yes, they are mine.
I won’t hide them—not this time.”

🎶 The people stared but didn’t laugh,
They bowed with love upon the path.
🎶 They saw their king stand proud and true—
And they all loved him, donkey ears too.
