"Bears eat goats, and goats eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy. A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?"
"Mares eat oats, and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy. A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?"
This is part of 'Merzidotes' by Session America on the Children's Indie station on Pandora. (It's a pre-set-up station, if you want to listen to it.) Except that (starting at the top) these are what I gradually thought the song said. :-)
These are the real lyrics:
Maresy Dotes and Doesey Dotes And little lamsie divey, A kiddley divey, too, Wouldn't you! Maresy Dotes and Doesey Dotes And little lamsie divey, A kiddley divey, too, Wouldn't you! Now if the words sound queer, And funny to your ear, A little bit jumbled and jivey; Well, "mares eat oats" And "does eat oats" And "little lambs eat ivy".
Okay, so the second version I thought was relatively right, just not in the chorus line.
I like bears eating goats. Is that wrong?
