Mairzy Doats Songtext
von Fred Penner

Oh, mairzy doats and doazy doats and little lamzey-divey
A kiddely-divey too, wouldn′t you?
Mairzy doats and doazy doats and little lamzey-divey
A kiddely-divey too, wouldn't you?

If the weirds sound queer, (Hi Connie!) and funny to your ear
A little bit jumbled and jivey
Say "Mares eat oats"
And "Does eat oats"
And "Little lambs eat ivy"

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
A kid′ll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?
A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn′t you? (I never tried)

Everybody dance!


Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
A kid′ll eat ivy too.
(Interrupted) Not... not yet Connie... it's coming up though
Oh... I was so excited

One, two, three, four.

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
A kid′ll eat ivy too, wouldn't you? (Good for you?)
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
A kid′ll eat ivy too, wouldn't you? (It′s good for goats!)

If the weirds sound queer, and funny to your ear
A little bit jumbled and jivey
Say "Mares eat oats"
"Does eat oats"
And "Little lambs eat ivy"

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you? (Chocolate-covered!)
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
A kid′ll eat ivy too, wouldn′t you?
