[Verse 1]
Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
That lamb was sure to go
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
It followed her to school one day
It was against the rules
Made the children laugh and play to
See a lamb at school
[Chorus]
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
Everybody sing it:
La, la (la, la, la, la, la)
La, la (la, la, la, la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 3]
Soon the teacher turned it out
But still it lingered near
Waited patiently about till
Mary did appear
[Chorus]
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
Everybody sing it:
La, la (la, la, la, la, la)
La, la (la, la, la, la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 4]
"But the lamb loved Mary so"
The eager children cry
"And Mary loves the lamb, you know"
The teacher did reply
[Chorus]
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
Everybody sing it:
La, la (la, la, la, la, la)
La, la, la (la, la, la, la, la)
La, la, la, la, la
[Outro]
La, la
La, la
La, la
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
