Whalezy deals and sealzy deals
And little shoxy doysters
A squidelly doysters too
Wouldn't you?

My comment on trufen was that "little shoxy doysters" sounds like a Yiddish insult.

It took me a little while to work out what "shocks" were and why they eat oysters. Shocks, shocks, shocks... oh, sharks!

I also didn't get why the pun "hairy" for "Harry" was supposed to be clever, for years.

Ah, then you might also pronounce Mary, marry, and merry all differently. (Not that I pronounce "sharks" as "shocks". Although all of a sudden I'm singing, "When you're a shock, you're a shock all the way." Hm. I doubt the Jets will forgive me for appropriating their song!)

Here's a 12 or 13 year old boy joke for you:

What did one leg say to the other leg?

"Hey -- Shorty's growing a beard."

That's great! I was completely baffled until the final line, when it all became clear. And reminded me of my childhood ephiphany when Mairzy Doats finally made sense. (At the time, I hadn' heard the whole song all the way through.)

Yes, to be fair to people coming to this cold, I suppose I should really have used a subject line of "Mairzy Deals". Or perhaps "Liddle lamzy doysters".

If the words sound queer
and funny to your ear
sing whales eat eels
and seals eat eels
and...

... wait a minute, do they???

I don't think so. But do little lambs eat ivy?
