Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
She thought it very handsome.
The Shepherdess came by one day
And took the lamb for ransom.

Mary got a ransom note
Which warned if she should fail
She would get her lambkin back
In pieces in the mail.

The ransom note enclosed as proof,
A bag of woolly shavings.
Mary went round to her bank
And took out all her savings.

But Mary went and told the cops,
That silly girl was most
Upset when Mr Postie came
Delivering the post.

Now Mary has a little lamb
Though diff'rently, of course,
With roast potatoes on the side
And dressed up with mint sauce.
