...And?

[markus]

1. And little lambs eat ivy/

A kid'll eat ivy, too.
Wouldn't you?

[nicolemrw]

2. little lambs eat ivy

a kiddle eat ivy too.... wouldn't you?

[Cobalt Violet]

3. I thought it was...

Mares eat oats and does eat oat and little lambs eat ivy. :shrug:

[qnr]

4. I'm too lazy to do the next, so I'll do it all

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?

Edit: s/to lazy/too lazy/

5. the song is really

Mare's eat oats and doe's eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. a kid'll eat ivy too

[qnr]

6. Actually, it's not.

It's a song sung by the Merry Macs, and written by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingstone.



Edit: And those are the actual lyrics that I posted up above.

[steely]

7. wooden chew?

[qnr]

8. Quite possibly. Even though that is the way I remember it,

all of the lyrics I've seen show it as "wouldn't you" <shrug> :)

[Wilber_Stool]

9. I'm surprised it doesn't say

"wooden shoe". Heh Heh

11. Jerry Livingstone was the cousin of an uncle of mine

As I recall, he also wrote the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song.

12. Interesting any of your relatives know him?. Actually, wondering what the

official word for "cousin of an uncle of mine" is is rather interesting too, come to think of it.
