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, 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 - oo? A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

I would like to know if Johnny Mercer wrote the song that begins "Mares eat oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy ...". If not, who did, what is the song title, and where I can get a copy of the lyrics.

Do we yet know if JM wrote it ? By the way, I live in a remote valley in Turkey and took delight in teaching that song to the school children. One day a tourist will pass and hear "Merzy doats an dozzy......"

I think it goes like this: "Mares eat oats And does eat oats And little lambs eat ivy. A kid will eat ivy too, (or kid'll) Wouldn't you?"
