This is how I remember it:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(fast and slurred toagether)Marzee doats and doezee doats and little lambzee divy
A kidly divy too, wouldn't you?
(Repeat the above two lines)
(This part is slower and pronounced carefully)
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear
A little bit jumbled and jivy
Sing mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
(fast again)Marzee doats and doezee doats and little lambzee divy
A kidly divy too, wouldn't you?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I hope you enjoy it.
