Easy one,this.

    skipy,it's the opening two lines of the British National Anthem, with the last two 'de de's missing. That's what must have led people astray.

Could it be-We're Busy Doing Nothing,

Seem to recall that there's a bit of 'La La' in that song.

One thing is certain. We can eliminate Bertie Wooster as a source. He invariably relief upon

tum tee tum tee

when he'd forgotten the words to a song.

Is it a folk song, a pop song, or what? It might help to know what kind of song it is, where/when you heard it, etc. Any idea of the date (1960s, 70s...?)

OK. So, in reality, and just between you and us, I don't think it's Fiddler on the Roof. More like Mairzy Doats. Work with us on this:

MAIRZY DOATS
Merry Macs
- words and music by Milton Drake, AI Hoffman and Jerry Livingston
- featured by George Olsen and his Orchestra

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 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?

Seven of the eight-man team we have assembled here are positive it is from Fiddler on the Roof. The sober one has no opinion.

"team of experts"

I suspect that the discussions on Can you identify this tune? may assist.

But I personally think that the song is

"What is this thing called, Love?"

Justin timberlake I'm sure! Maybe k-fed. You should buy both their albums to be sure which.
