Mairzy Doats - Dodie Stevens

[JakeShappert]

Yes, i believe Leland Palmer sung the Original

[dreamthunder]

For those who questioned what it means. She is saying mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy a kid will eat ivy too wouldn't you? Kids are baby goats. The woudn't you is just facetious. :) I love this song!

@182BEVERLEI

It's a play on the sound of the words. It's actually:

"Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat Ivy. A Kid will eat Ivy too, wouldn't you?"

A "Mare" is an adult female horse

A "Doe" is a female deer

"Little Lambs" are... well, Little Lambs

A "Kid" is a young goat

Jazz up the lyrics a little bit and you have Mairzy Doats and Dozy Doats etc...
