MIXED UP LYRICS (OR) I'M SUCH A GOOBER

An online friend recently posted about a little rhyme that her Mom was singing to herself the day she was born. My Mom used to sing this little rhyme all the time too. The thing is, I had never seen it in print and I just discovered that I had the lyrics ALL wrong. I thought it was just a little nonsense song to amuse little kids. It actually has words that make sense... who knew? Here it is:

Mares eat oats and does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy....

I thought it was something like this:

Maresy doats and dosey doats
And little lamsey divey....

I am such a goober.
