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, oh--
Mairzy-doats and dozey-doats
And little lambzie-divey.
A kiddley-divey, too, wouldn't you?
Mairzy-doats and dozey-doats
And little lambzie-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.
A kid'll eat ivy, too, wouldn't you
