LYRICS:
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wooden shoe?
Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wooden shoe?

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?
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

Cowzey tweet and sowzey tweet
and liddle sharksey deisters,
squiddely roisters too, wooden shoe"
Cowzey tweet and sowzey tweet
and liddle sharksey deisters,
squiddely roisters too, wooden shoe"

Now if the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
A little like mumbles and nonsense,
Sing "Cows eat wheat and sows eat wheat
and little sharks eat oysters

Mairzy doats and dozy doats
and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wooden shoe?
