MAIRZY DOATS 
words and music by Milton Drake, AI Hoffman and Jerry Livingston 

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? 

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, Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey 
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you-oo? 
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you? 

     

Mairzy Doats, performed by The Merry Macs
