Tilly had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Tilly had a little lamb,
It's fleece was black as coal
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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!
Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know
"Why, Tilly loves the lamb, you know."
The teacher did reply!
