He followed her to school one day, That was against the rule. It made the children laugh and play To see a lamb at school. 2. So the Teacher turned him out But still he lingered near, And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear; And then he ran to her and laid His head upon her arm As if he said “I’m not afraid, You’ll keep me from all harm.” 3. “What makes the lamb love Mary so?” The eager children cry, “O, Mary loves the lamb you know,” The Teacher did reply; “And you each gentle animal In confidence may bind, And make them follow at your call If you are always kind.” Sixpence SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE. -8- -9- music [Listen] [MusicXML] Sing a song of Sixpence A pocket full of rye; Four and twenty Blackbirds Baked in a pie; When the pie was open’d The birds began to sing, Oh, was not that a dainty dish To set before the King. 2. The King was in his counting-house Counting out his money, The Queen was in the parlour Eating bread and honey; The Maid was in the garden Hanging out the clothes, There came a little blackbird And pecked off her nose. -10- Jack Horner LITTLE JACK HORNER. music [Listen] [MusicXML] -11- Little Jack Horner Sat in a corner Eating his Christmas pie; He put in his Thumb And pulled out a plum And said “What a good boy am I!” Ding Dong Bell DING DONG BELL. -12- -13- music [Listen] [MusicXML] Ding dong bell!
