Another song that spontaneously plays in my mind from time to time:
https://youtu.be/aFcx7phO_9E
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.”
I cheerfully admit, I do not have sophisticated tastes.

That was one of my Mom’s favorite songs so I soon learned to sing it, too.
That’s neat. 🙂
LOL!
I remember learning that little song. I loved it!
now it can get stuck in my head and drive me crazy. 😀 yikes!
too late.
It’s a lot better than some. 🙂
I am not familiar with it…
It’s an oldy, you may be too young.
That song hasn’t crossed my mind in decades LOL My parents would sing that to us.
I’m glad your folks appreciated it. 🙂
If that doesn’t bring a smile to someone’s face, I don’t know what would! 🙂
Yes! 🙂
I remember that song. Used to sing it with my mom. Boy, that memory goes way back.
I’m glad it has connections with your mom too. 🙂
My mother would sing that song to me all the time when I was a child. And I did the favor for my own children AND grandchildren. Love that song.
That is so neat! Thank you.
I remember this song well. Now it will stick in my head for quite awhile. I still don’t know what it means, but maybe the silliness is just part of the fun.
Yes, silliness is what it’s about. I love silliness, the world could use a lot more of it. 🙂
a bit before my time as well…but catchy and silly sounding for sure…just the way it makes you feel is so cute for todays fast paced world…
It’s lighthearted and silly…we could use a lot more of that nowadays. 🙂
I remember my dad singing this one when I was a kid. It will occasionally pop into my head too.
It’s a happy song.
I’ve always sang the mares eat oats version
That ruins the silliness, but the bouncy tune is still there. 🙂
Oh I loved this song when I was a little girl. It brings a smile to my face now. Thanks.
It was so silly, that’s why I remember it. 🙂
This proves you are right because both these songs are happy songs. When I get a song it’s like the first six to eight or 10 notes and nothing else no words just the music going round and round
That would be annoying! I would work on my brain to remember happier songs.
I remember that song, it’s really cute!
Yes. 🙂
