[The Thin Man]

Very generous of you, Lady. That's quite a selection. It's sure an improvement over the bowl of uncooked oatmeal that Billie provides for me.

And I'll just bet she wouldn't even sing to you "Mairzy Doats" as you chomped your way through it - would she?

Mares Eat Oats

- Mairzy Doats -
Words & Music by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston

I know a ditty nutty as a fruitcake
Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon
Some call it pretty, others call it crazy
But they all sing this tune:

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
a little bit jumbled and jivey
Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy"

Oh! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you-oo?
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

(REPEAT)

That would have been a nice gesture - -

What? You don't know how to microwave? Geesh! :)
