Went to hear a band play the other night at an old friend's bar.  While their, we spied a Bud Light T-Shirt with the now famous phrase "Dilly Dilly." 
I read a business article that claims the copy writer needed a phrase for the king to say and someone spitball the "nonsense" word "Dilly" and everyone thought it was funny.  But, did the guy just invent it?
Imagine my surprise when I was reading Mother Goose Rhymes to my grandkids this past week.  I turn the page to:
 Title:  Lavender's Blue, Dilly Dilly 
Lavender's blue Dilly Dilly,
Lavender's green;
When l am King, Dilly, Dilly,
You shall be Queen.
Who told you so, Dilly, Dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, Dilly, Dilly,
That told me so.
King, Quees, and Dilly?  Hmmmm?
Have a great Dilly Dilly day.  Whether you dilly dally or not.  But, do you lollygag?
Carpe diem Life,
