| 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. |
| (Ev'ry body singing) |
