Mary Had A Little Lamb - Revised 2020

Mary had a little Lamb,
His fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school one day,
'Twas even in the rule;
It made the children laugh and play,
To have the Lamb at school.

But then the rules all changed one day,
Illegal it became
To have the Lamb of God at school,
Or even speak His name.

Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into years,
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We hear gunshots and tears.

What must we do to stop the crime
That's in our schools today?
Let's let the Lamb come back to school,
And teach our kids to pray!

"Mary had a Little Lamb" Original lyrics

Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school one day
Which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned him out,
But still he lingered near;
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear

"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cry;
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"
The teacher did reply.
