Arranged by Josh Greenberg and Bill Vitek
Additional Lyrics by Josh Greenberg

(Slow instrumental, then 4 measures bossa intro)

Children's Chorus I:

Verse I:
Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb.
Mary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow.

Verse II:
Everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.

Verse III:
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.

Children's Chorus II:

Well, Mary, we admire the way
You treat the sweet little creatures,
But watch out, now, 'cause I'm sorry to say,
Here come the teachers... they're sayin'...

Teachers:
Mary, you know the rules.
You know you can't have a lamb at school.
They got fleas and they carry disease,
So that lamb and you are through.

Teacher I:
Come here, come here, little dear.
(Suddenly harsh) Now I've got you!
(Sternly) Now, come along with me...
(Gasp) Oh, no! what did you do? Right on my shoe!

Children's Chorus:

(Gasps, then uproarious laughter.)

Children's Chorus I and II:

Verse IV:
Well, 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.

(2 verses sax solo -Mardi Gras mood
4 measures vamp - decrescendo)

Children's Chorus II:

Well, Mary, what luck you have.
It seems that you're invincible.
But watch out now 'cause, I'm sorry to say,
Here comes the principal.

Principal:
I'm sayin' no lamb, no lamb.
You know, you can't have a lamb at school.
I'm sayin'' no lamb, no lamb.
You know that's against the rules.

Principal and Teachers:

Principal:
I'm sayin' no lamb, no lamb.
You know, you can't have a lamb at school.
I'm sayin' no lamb, no lamb.
You know that's against the rules.
Teachers:
Mary, you know the rules.
You know you can't have a lamb at school.
They got fleas and they carry disease,
So that lamb and you are through.
Principal, Teachers, and Children:

Principal:
No lamb, no lamb.
You know you can't have a lamb at
school.
No lamb, no lamb.
You know that's against the rules.
I'm sayin' every school across the
land
Says you can't have a little lamb.
Teachers:
Mary, you know the rules.
You know you can't have a lamb at-
school.
They got fleas and they carry disease
So that lamb and you are through.
If there's one thing that I can't stand
It's a smart little girl with a little
lamb.
Children:
Mary had a
little lamb,
little lamb,
little lamb.
Mary had a
little lamb.

Children's Chorus:

It's fleece was white as snow ...
