Mary had a little lamb,
							 | 
						|
								His fleece was white as snow,
							 | 
						|
								And everywhere that Mary went,
							 | 
						|
								The lamb was sure to go.
							 | 
						|
								
							 | 
						|
								He followed her to school one day,
							 | 
						|
								Which 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 waited patiently about,
							 | 
						|
								Till 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.
