This thread made me smile and reminded me of this rhyme. Can anyone translate? "Mairsy dotes an dozy dotes, an likkle lamzy divey... A tiddly divey, too, wouldn't you?" Carol:) mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy but kids'll eat ivy too wouldn't you? :confused: |

and funny to your ear- a little bit deevy and divey- |

Re: Three months on: my son is a polyglot!
It's the bit that goes in the middle -between the 'mariedotes' stuff and the 'mares eat oats'.
Sorry - some Cocknies used to sing it in the bars with my parents years back - along with 'I'm one of the ruins that Cromwell knocked abaht a bit' and 'Don't have any more missus Moore'. The rest of them, once those first songs and round of drinks had been dispensed with, were dirty... Come to think of it, we once translated 'Cats on the Rooftops..' |
