Mairzy Doats
Traditional Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Sharon, Lois & Bram

 

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 tu-u-une…

Mairzy Doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddly divey too, wouldn't you?

Swing and sway.
Mairzy Doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddly divey too, wouldn't you?

Mairzy Doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddly divey too, wouldn't you?
A kiddly divey too, wouldn't you?

If those words sound queer
Or funny to your ear
A little bit jumbled and jivey
You say, mares eat oats
And does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy

Oh, Mairzy Doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddly divey too, wouldn’t you?
Last time!
A kiddly divey too, wouldn’t you?

But you know,
I went down by the seashore.
I met this fella.
This is what we saw…

Whalezy deels and sealzy deels
And baby fishy doysters
A squiddly doysters too wouldn't you?
Whalezy deels and sealzy deels
And baby fishy doysters
A squiddly doysters too wouldn't you?

If those words sound queer
Funny to your ear
All you girlsters and boysters
Say, whales eat eels.
Seals eat eels.
Get this: baby fish eat oysters
Yuck!

Whalezy deels and sealzy deels
And baby fishy doysters
A squiddly doysters too wouldn't you?

A squiddly divey too
Uh-uh.
A kiddly doysters too
No. No.
A kiddly divey too
Mm-hm!
Wouldn't you?
