《Mary Had a Little Lamb》的歌詞如下:
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went,
She took it with her shepherd.
Oh, what a mouthful for a lamb!
It tasted so good,
Mary had a little lamb.
Mary loved to groom its hair
With the care of a mother.
Every morning she slaughtered it
For breakfast with care.
Oh, what a gory mess for all!
The more it bleated in agony
Mary loved it anyway.
You see, the sheep in her kitchen was sacred,
To slaughter a lamb is sinful.
Oh Mary! She never was taught,
It’s always wrong to slaughter.
To go on eating is only common sense,
If you like to be fat, and useless.
Now she can eat well in the end,
Oh! What a fate for Mary’s lamb.
Now Mary sits alone in her room,
And cries for her lamb that’s gone.
She knows she will never see it again,
But it’s better to die than to suffer.
She had a little lamb, but now it’s gone.
So eat it while you can now son.
