I'm easy of hearing, backward in the ear
The louder you shout, the less I hear
I've seen ev’ry doctor, examined by the best
So what? I fail ev’ry test

Can't hear nothin' when you yell at me
Can't hear you when you scream
I'm a mess! You see, more is less with me
Quiet, please! Crazy as it seems

I'm easy of hearing, let me make it clear
The softer you talk, the more I hear
I've had ev’ry needle, I've taken ev’ry pill
No use! Still hearingly ill!

Can't hear nothin' when you yell at me
(spoken) Well, go ahead, yell.
Can't hear you when you scream
(spoken) Go ahead, scream. Loud as you can.
I'm a mess! You see, more is less with me
Quiet, please! Crazy as it seems

I'm easy of hearing, let me make it clear
The softer you talk, the more I hear
I've had ev’ry needle, I've taken ev’ry pill
No use! Still hearingly ill!
