Mary had a little lamb
Mary
had a little lamb,
Little
lamb, little lamb,
Mary
had a little lamb,
Its
fleece was white as snow
And
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 a 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
And
waited patiently about,
Patiently
about, patiently about,
And
waited patiently about
Till
Mary did appear
"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."
The
teacher did reply

Eensy Weensy Spider
The
eensy weensy spider
Crawled
up the water spout
Down
came the rain
And
washed the spider out
Out
came the sun
And
dried up all the rain
And
the eensy weensy spider
Crawled
up the spout again.

Hey Diddle Diddle the Cat and Fiddle
Hey
diddle diddle,
The
cat and the fiddle,
The
cow jumped over the moon,
The
little dog laughed to see such sport,
And
the dish ran away with the spoon.
