Warning: Adorable kid story coming

My friend's son was in kindergarten or first grade and they were learning Roman Numerals. He came back home and sang a little song he knew:

"Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat four"

Maybe I don't get it but what does the last line mean? and how does it relate to Roman Numerals?

Four in Roman Numerals is IV. The song lyric is little lambs eat ivy. Ivy = IV = four
