[Words and music by Milton Drake, AI Hoffman and Jerry Livingston]

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
Alittle 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
