The image of a donkey and a deer, both enjoying a hearty meal of corn, adds a playful touch to this musical composition. The words and music for this delightful tune were penned by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingstone in circa 1943. The title, "Mairzy Doats and Dozy Doats," is a clever play on words, with the phrase "mares eat oats" and "does eat oats" repeated throughout the song. The cover art itself is a charming illustration that perfectly encapsulates the lighthearted nature of the lyrics. The donkey and deer, with their expressive faces and relaxed postures, seem to embody the carefree spirit of the music.

This musical composition, with its catchy melody and simple yet endearing lyrics, would have provided a welcome respite from the challenges and uncertainties of the era. Today, this music sheet cover serves as a reminder of the power of music to transport us to another time and place. Whether you're a music historian, a collector of vintage ephemera, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-crafted tune, this cover is sure to delight and inspire.
