A SONG FOR FUN: Little Lamb


Marry had a little lamb
Little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow.
Every where that Mary went
Mary went, Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day
To school one day, to school one day
It followed her to school one day
It was against the rule.
It makes the children laugh and play
Laugh and play laugh and play
It makes the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.
So the teacher sent him out
Sent him out, sent him out
So the teacher sent him out
Because it was against the rule.
