mares eat oats

"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?
"


my father would sing this ditty when he was feeling silly or was doing something mundane

Rosie, aka. the evil witch, aka. the flying night mare, is receiving her evening ration of sweet feed.

It is cold, muddy, and spitting wet snow, and all the animals need extra rations to keep warm.
