Mairzy doats

Did you ever get a song stuck in your head?

I started thinking of this one for no reason at all.

Here are the words:

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?
Yes! 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 jumpled 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--ooo?
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

(Now try getting it out of YOUR head!)
