Subject: Lyr Add: MAIRZY DOATS
Thats cheered up my night.. Im up coughing got nasty cold bug.
Mares eat oats and lambs eat oats and little lambs eat ivy.
Kiddly divy too, wouldnt you?
Mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey,
A kiddlely divey too, wouldn't you?
Mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey,
A kiddlely 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."
