Mayorzee dotes and dozy dotes and little lamzee divey. A kiddlee divey too, wouldn't you?
That's definitely what I've always thought the words were. Is that the point of this song?

I have no idea what you just said.
Another boring Monday, hey Stef??
I LOVE that song! While in Virginia I checked out a kids CD and played it over and over until I learned it, Mike and Allie too! Here's the lyrics and a little info about the song.
At first glance the song's refrain seems to be meaningless:
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
However, the lyrics of the bridge provide a clue:
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."
With this aid, the refrain is quite easily comprehended, and the ear will detect the hidden message of the final line: "A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?"
