Lyrics
Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb
Mary has a little lamb.
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow
The lamb's fleece is white as snow.
Everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went
Mary goes everywhere with the lamb.
Everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go
Wherever Mary goes, the lamb follows.
It followed her to school one day, school one day, school one day
The lamb follows Mary to school.
It followed her to school one day, which was against the rules
Following to school is against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play
The lamb's presence at school makes children laugh and play.
It made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school
Children find it amusing to see a lamb at school.
Mary's lamb went in the class, in the class, in the class
Mary's lamb enters the class.
Mary's lamb went in the class, to take a look
The lamb goes to class to take a look.
The lamb she sat at Mary's desk, Mary's desk, Mary's desk
The lamb sits at Mary's desk.
The lamb she sat at Mary's desk, to read a book
It sits at the desk to read a book.
The teacher came to see the lamb, see the lamb, see the lamb
The teacher comes to see the lamb.
The teacher came to see the lamb, what a surprise!
The teacher is surprised to see the lamb.
All the other teachers came, teachers came, teachers came
Other teachers come to see for themselves.
All the other teachers came to see with their own eyes
All teachers witness the unusual sight.
Yes! My little lamb can read, lamb can read, lamb can read.
Mary proudly states her lamb can read.
Yes, my little lamb can read, and she can write!
The lamb can both read and write.
A pencil then she gave to her, gave to her, gave to her
The teacher gives Mary a pencil.
A pencil then she gave to her, Mary was right!
Mary is proven right as she receives a pencil.
Mary's little lamb can stay, lamb can stay, lamb can stay
Mary's lamb is allowed to stay in school.
Mary's little lamb can stay, the teacher changed the rule!
The teacher changes the rule for the lamb.
It made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play
The lamb's presence continues to amuse children.
It made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school
Children find joy in the lamb being at school.
