Mairzy Doats

This was a song my grandma taught my sister and I when we were little. We would often sing it when we were sitting on the swing in the backyard snapping beans. I thought it would be a fun one to teach Caden. Incase you don't already know this song from 1943, here are the lyrics:

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 doe(s) eat oats and little lambs eat ivy."

Oh, Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey

A kiddley divey too, wooden shoe? (A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?)

I guess it's not a favorite of Abby's? (recorded on 5/7)
