Lyrics

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)
