The first one goes
Mares eat oats
and does eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy
a kid will eat ivy too, wouldn't you
but its often pronounced
Maresy doats
and dozy doats
and little lambsy divey
a kidley divey, wouldn't you
Never heard of the second song.

I think the second one goes:
It ain't gonna rain no more, no more
It ain't gonna rain no more
How in the heck
Can I wash my neck
If it ain't gonna rain no more
That's all I know ::)

Mairzy Doats is my Grandfather's favourite song. He finds it hysterically funny...

Both of those songs were in my childhood, too. I think Mares Eat Oats was from the late 30s or early 40s. I thought my mom's friend made up the song about It Ain't Gonna Rain No More ! Nice to know other kids knew of it, too !

I completely forgot about that Mares eat oats song! I heard it on a cassette tape when I was a kid, but I lost it long ago:(
I'll have to try & find it now. It's classic!
