Mary and the Little Lamb
[VERSE]
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 most every day
And it made the people laugh
You'd never see it work or play
And you'd never see it at the grass
[Chorus]
Oh, they'll be loving a long long time from now
But it'll be too late for him
Oh, they'll be kissing and hugging and holding tight
But it'll be too late for him
[VERSE]
And people tried to talk to him
But it never made no sense
'Cause just as they were getting through
It'd be jumping another fence
It'd follow in her footsteps
And everywhere she went
You'd see him in there with her
But you'd never be seeing him
[Chorus]
Oh, they'll be loving a long long time from now
But it'll be too late for him
Yes, they'll be kissing and hugging and holding tight
But it'll be too late for him
[VERSE]
Now one dark day, a big storm came
And it blew Mary's house away
All the walls had vanished
And there was nowhere for Mary to stay
She cried and cried, and looked around
But everything was gone
Except for that one little lamb
He was still holding on
[Chorus]
Oh, they'll be loving a long long time from now
But there'll be no one more happy than him
'Cause every night the moon shines bright
She'll be cuddling up with him
