How many of you know this OLD song?

I forgot to post the lyrics:

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?
 
LOL, I never heard that version of it, but I have sang that before, in daycare I think when I was a kid. At least now I know where it originates from, here I thought all this time it was just a kids song, :)
 
I had a record (an actual vinyl one) that had a collaboration of kids songs. I would play this and "Frere Jaques" over and over again on my Brown and orange Fisher Price record player.
 
My kids actually know that song! We had it on a Silly Kids Song tape that we used to listen to in the car all the time.
 
I never knew this was a song...I studied the original poem when I was a young adult lit major in college...and there's a kids store by me named Mairzy Doats :)

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy.

I tried explaining this to nathan one day and it just confused him more ;)
 
I have Sirius radio in my car and sometimes I listen to the 40s channel and MANY of the songs I've heard my grandmother sing but had never actually heard the song before. It makes me feel close to her since she's gone to hear that stuff. kwim?
