lily had a little book,
little book, little book
lily had a little book
whose cover was dark as night

and everywhere that lily went,
lily went, lily went,
everywhere that lily went
the book was sure to follow

it followed her to school one day,
school one day, school one day,
it followed her to school one day

it made the children laugh and play,
laugh and play, laugh and play,
it made the children laugh and play

"why, lily loves the book, you know,
book, you know, book, you know,
why, lily loves the lamb, you know,"
the teacher did reply
