C                G                C      Am   C    Gdim
Mairzy dotes and dozy dotes and little lamsy divey,

  Dm7         G7              C      G
A kiddly divey, too -- wouldn't you?



C                G                C      Am   C     Gdim
Mairzy dotes and dozy dotes and little lamsy divey,

   Dm7        G7               C   Fm   C
A kiddly divey, too -- wouldn't you?



Bridge:

           Gm7         C7         Gm7           C7
Now if the words sound queer, and funny to your ear,

   F         Dm7          F
A little bit jumbled and jivey,

F7         Am7        D7       G/B       D7
Just say, "Mares eat oats, and does eat oats,

    G      Dm7       G   D7
And little lambs eat i - vy."


C                G                C      Am   C      Gdim
Mairzy dotes and dozy dotes and little lamsy divey,

  Dm7          G7               C   C/B  A7
A kiddly divey, too -- wouldn't you?

 Dm7           G7       Em7           A7
A kiddly divey, too -- a kiddly divey,too, 

  Dm7          G7              C      F     C
A kiddly divey, too -- wouldn't you?
