  • Delightful Dodie .

    Like her more then Doris Day.

    The words are very clear and funny to my ear,

    but what means Mairzy Doats ?

    Chris.

  • If you google on that you might found out!!!

    It seems to be a kind of childrens figure from the 40's???

    I'm not really sure,but I'm sure I like the song! Haa haa.

    Bye bye my european friend!!

  • Great one Arne! From the "Tan Shoes & Pink Shoelaces" Girl - What a Cutie! I love "The Pied Pipers" version of this old classic! Thanks! All Thumbs are Up!

  • Yes, i believe Leland Palmer sung the Original

  • 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!

  • Nice cover indeed, but we all know that Leland Palmer sings the original.

  • I love this song and I love Dodie's voice ♥

    She is such a cutie *-*

  • @182BEVERLEI It means "Mares eat oats"

  • @Ryandrums4

    Thank you for enlightening , i really appreciate your jazzing up.

    Chris.

  • @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...
