Hi Mike, if you mean the ad where it talks about the Brazilian rain forest, it's called Mairzy Doats:

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

Mairzy Doats is a novelty song composed in 1943 by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston

The "actual" lyrics are...

"Mares eat oats and does eat oats, but little lambs eat ivy.
A kid'll eat ivy too - wouldn't you?" (repeated)

It's about the foods various animals like to eat - a mare is a female horse; a doe is a female deer; a lamb is - well, you know - and a kid is a baby goat.

It was written to deliberately seem like gibberish, but the bridge of the song explains things:

"If the words sound queer and funny to your ear, a little bit jumbled and jivey, sing 'mares eat oats, and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy'".

I learned it from TV show 'Twin Peaks'!
