Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day
That was against the rule
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out
But still it lingered near
And waiting patiently about
'Til Mary did appear.
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cry
"Why Mary loves the lamb, you know?"
The teacher did reply.
