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) La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
