I am an ear
and you are a mouth;
what a wonderful pair
we make!

For you can talk
all you want
(I won't interrupt)
and your secrets,
well,
you know they are safe!

I am an ear
and you are a mouth;
what a marvelous
sight we must be!

We are totally blind;
we are absent an eye!
But who really needs to see?

For there is comfort
in knowing I'm here
just to hear,
and I quite like the things that you say.

And, besides,
if we had an eye,
he'd be left out anyway.
