Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Mary had a little lamb

little lamb little lamb

Mary had a little lamb

Its fleece was white as snow

Everywhere that Mary went

Mary went, Mary went

Everywhere that Mary went

The lamb was sure to go

It followed her to school one day

School one day, school one day

It followed her to school one day

Which was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play

Laugh and play, laugh and play

It made the children laugh and play

To see the lamb at school

And so the teacher turned it out

Turned it out, turned it out

And so the teacher turned it out

But still it lingered near

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"

Love Mary so? Love Mary so?

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"

The eager children cry

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."

Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
