Mairzy Doats

"Mairzy Doats" is a novelty song composed in 1943, by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston. It was first played on radio station WOR, New York, by Al Trace and his Silly Symphonists. The song made the pop charts several times, with a version by the Merry Macs reaching No. 1 in March 1944. The song was also a number one sheet music seller, with sales of over 450,000 within the first three weeks of release. The song's refrain, as written on the sheet music, seems meaningless: Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy diveyA kiddley divey too, wooden shoe
