Mr stupid started his new job
He would fit interior walls
He would hammer up new ceilings
Then he'd plaster up the halls

But as he climbed the ladder
He slipped down onto his rear
Blood spurted quickly from his head
A sharp edge had removed his ear

He ran screaming from the building
An ambulance came upon the scene
And Mr Stupid pointed to his head
Where his ear it should have been

So his work mates put the ear on ice
Tailed the ambulance in the car
"Don't worry sir," the doctor said
"You're ear is following in a jar

So they wheeled him into the theatre
The doctor held his ear up high
"Thats not my ear," Mr Stupid cried
"And on this I do not lie"

"What do you mean, you stupid man
That's you're ear here in one bit"
"I know that's not my ear," he said
'Cause mine had a pencil behind it"
