Mary Had a Little Lamb

Here's an additional verse that you can add about the lamb 'pittin about'

It waited out pittin about,
Pittin about, pittin about,
And waited out pittin about
'Till Mary would appear.

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
Love Mary so? Love Mary so?
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cried.

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know".
the lamb, you know; the lamb, you know
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know".
The teacher did reply.

And then our Mary did fall down,
Did fall down, did fall down
And then our Mary did fall down,
And her lamb went to her side.

Now our Mary's gone away,
Gone away, gone away
Now our Mary's gone away,
Her lamb still by her side.

Here's a longer version that adds on that they were all wondering why the lamb loved Mary so

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.

Here's a version for mature audiences, if you are a parent, you may not want your children learning this particular version

Mary had a little lamb
Her father shot it dead
And now it goes to school with her between two chunks of bread
Mary had a little cow
She fed it safety pins
And every time she milked the cow
The milk came out in tins.

Here is another version of the song using other animals like the kangaroo

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb.
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow.

Mary had a little lamb, and a big giraffe?
Mary had a big giraffe, big giraffe, big giraffe.
Mary had a big giraffe whose neck was very long.
Long, long, long, long.
Long, long, long, long.
Very very very long.

And a rhinoceros.
Mary had a rhinoceros, rhinoceros, rhinoceros.
Mary had a rhinoceros whose horn was very sharp.

Sharp, sharp, sharp, sharp.
Sharp, sharp, sharp, sharp.
Very very very sharp.

A kangaroo, too?
Mary had a kangaroo, kangaroo, kangaroo.
Mary had a kangaroo, whose pouch was very warm.

Warm, warm, warm, warm.
Warm, warm, warm, warm.
Very very very warm.

And a camel.
Mary had a camel, camel, camel.
Mary had a camel. Whose hump was very round.

Round, round, round, round.
Round, round, round, round.
Very very very round.
