The lyrics are as follows:
"Mares eat oats-and does eat oats,"
"And little lambs eat ivy."
"A kid would eat ivy too-wouldn't you?"

Oh, mare's-eat-oats and doe's-eat-oats and little lambs-eat-ivy. A
kid-would-eat-ivy-too, wouldn't you. Oh, mare's-eat-oats and doe's-eat-oats
and little lambs-eat-ivy. A kid-would-eat-ivy-too, wouldn't you. Now if the
words sound queer and funny to your ear and a little bit jumble and jivy.
Say, mare's eat oats and doe's eat oats and little lambs eat iivvvvvyyyyy.
Oohhh, mare's eat oats and doe's eat oat and little lambs eat ivy. A
kid-would-eat-ivy-too, wouldn't you. A kid would eat ivy too, wouldn't you.
A kid would eat ivy too, wouldn't yooouuuuuu.

Actually, the song starts off with a nonsense verse:
"Mairzy dotes and dozie dotes
"and liddle lamzy divey
"a kiddle divey two - wooden shoe?"
"And if these words sound queer
"and different to your ear..."
[I'll sing them this way - or something like that
and then it continues:]

Apparently (i think) the song is from a musical - one of the ones
Leland's slick persona ran around singing. It might even be in the FAQ,
which I still have printed out somewhere.
I miss Leland. Ray Wise was one of the best actors and had one of the
best roles on the show. I used to lurk on this newsgroup 7 years ago
when I took a course in college that studied Twin Peaks.

Do Keren and Ariana know that one of daddy's favorite character
roles was that of a father who raped and killed his own daughter?
I will be contacting the authorities tout suite, Keren and Ariana-
don't worry, everything will be fine!!! :) :)
But seriously, I agree with you that Ray Wise was
handed the gift of a lifetime when the network said:
"Finish this thing, damnit, give the viewers a murderer!" -
Lynch went ahead with the most unlikely murderer; the one
few viewers (as yet a little unfamiliar with Lynch's twisted
sense of logical progression) would finger, Laura's own daddy.
He did, indeed, do a nice job of it.
Good as he was, I think Richard Beymer (Benjamin Horne) was better.
I'm not trying to make this a contest- but I'd be interested to hear
who fellow newsgroup readers thought fulfilled Lynch's apparent
vision of the character the best.

The decent of Leland Palmer into madness from the pilot to epiode 16 was
one of the most brilliant performances in any medium. Ray Wise deserved an
emmy and an oscar for what he did.

I agree! I missed Ray Wise sooooo much after Leland was revealed and died
in one of the most remarkable scenes of the series next to the Maddie death
scene. Ray Wise istruly talented and I'd love to see more roles for him in
the future!

I love Beymer's Ben! However, I would have to say that he's too
self-absorbed to be the kind of guy who would kill his daughter. Hmm, how
to say....?
I would say that Ben is much more the type to be emotionally abusive (he
is, and he does....even Laura herself thought so -- page 13 of her diary),
in that he just doesn't care that much. Leland was downright obsessed.
Another thing that makes Leland a great killer is that nobody would suspect
him. He was a great guy before he flipped out, after all! Ben's too oily.
Like Leo, it would be Ben's door the police would be knocking on right
away. Also, Lynch seems to like the idea of corruption underneath a facade
of the American dream....the Palmers pretty much embodied that, don't you
think? White, middle class, nice folks....All they needed was a white
picket fence -- and bugs crawling under their lawn ; )
I hope that was clear! For a better version of this argument (I'm tired
right now), see http://members.aol.com/tmbgchris/index.htm

Nice observations! Ben might have been a 'bad' guy, involved in murder,
fraud
and more of those nasty things, but he wasn't the homicidal maniac that
Leland
portrayed. Ben had material motives for his acts, always working towards
more
money and power, Leland (driven by Bob) was acting on far different
reasons:
lust, fear, sadism, those things, exactly the kind of emotions Lynch
likes to
attribute to people who seem to be picture-perfect (as LynchEd described
above).
Also, Ray Wise stated in his interview (somewhere on the FTP-site) that
Lynch
and Frost intended Leland to be the killer from the first moments on.
You can find
many obscure hints towards his identity in the early episodes too.

If you want to look it up though, the title is the phonetic
spelling, "Mairzy Doats". I'm pretty sure it was Bing Crosby
who popularized it.
