Re: I heard it that way also!

It was intended to be that way. Later on in the song there’s a verse that goes like this (from memory, so I may be a little off):

Well, it may sound queer
And funny to your ear,
A little bit jumbled and jivey.

But it’s mares eat oats
And does eat oats,
And little lambs eat ivy.

[PrairieDawg]

And continuing:

A kid will eat ivy too, wouldn't you?

[TheConservativeParty]

Mares eat oats
and goats eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy
a kid’ll eat ivy, too
wouldn’t you?

(the “kid” refers too a young goat)

“A baby goat is called a kid. If the baby goat is male, it can also be referred to as a buckling, and if female, it’s called a doeling.”
