| Mary had a little lamb,
|
| His fleece was white as snow,
|
| Ev’rywhere that Mary went,
|
| That lamb was sure to go.
|
| And you could hear them singing:
|
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
|
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
|
| He followed her to school one day,
|
| It was against the rules,
|
| Made the children laugh and play to See a lamb at school.
|
| You could hear them singing:
|
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
|
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
|
| Soon the teacher turned it out,
|
| Still it lingered near,
|
| Waited patiently about till
|
| Mary did appear.
|
| You could hear them singing:
|
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
|
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
|
| «But the lamb loved Mary so»,
|
| The eager children cry,
|
| «And Mary loves the lamb, you know»,
|
| The teacher did reply.
|
| And you could hear them singing:
|
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
