Mairzy Doats by the Merry Macs
I know a ditty nutty as a fruitcake
Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon
Some call it pretty, others call it crazy
But they all sing this tune
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear
A little bit jumbled and jivey
Sing,
"Mares eat oats and does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy"
oh
A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you
