Dear Ken: My father used to sing to me the lyrics of a silly song called “Mairzy Doats.” What year did that song come out and who recorded it?
Ah, I remember it well: “Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey, a kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?” The novelty song was recorded by a variety of artists but was a No. 1 hit in March 1944 for the Merry Macs. And for the decoding: “Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t you?”
