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,

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.
