Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
whose fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went,
everywhere that Mary went,
the lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day
school one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
which was against the rule.

It made the children laugh and play,
laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play,
to see the lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,
turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
but still it lingered near,

And waited patiently about,
ly about, ly about,
And waited patiently about,
till Mary did appear.

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
Mary so? Mary so?
Why does the lamb love Mary so
the eager children cry.

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
lamb, you know lamb, you know
Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know
the teacher did reply.

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
whose fleece was white as snow.
