Tilly had a Little Lamb, It's Fleece was Black as Coal!


Tilly had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Tilly had a little lamb,
It's fleece was black as coal

And everywhere that Tilly went,
Tilly went, Tilly went,
Everywhere that Tilly went
The lamb was sure to go

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.

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

And so the teacher turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near

And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Till Tilly did appear

"Why does the lamb love Tilly so?"
Love Tilly so? Love Tilly so?
"Why does the lamb love Tilly so?"
The eager children cry 

"Why, Tilly loves the lamb, you know."
Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know
"Why, Tilly loves the lamb, you know."
The teacher did reply!
