Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack ...

Trying to teach, and learn, an old school-yard favourite: Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack All dressed in black, black, black. With silver buttons, buttons, buttons All down her back, back, back. She asked her mother, mother, mother For 50 cents, cents, cents. To see the elephants, elephants, elephants Jump over the fence, fence, fence. They jumped so high, high, high They reached the sky, sky, sky. And they didn't come back, back, back 'Til the Fourth of July, ly, ly. These are the lyrics - even in Australia, where I suspect the majority of school-children have no idea of the meaning of the Fourth of July!
