Once I had a lion's heart, I was wild and free (sha la la-la)

I swore no girl could tame me down and make a pet of me (sha la la-la)

"I'm rough and tough, I can't be caught" I used to say

Then along came Mary and look at me today

Now I'm Mary's little lamb

She leads me by the nose

Now I'm Mary's little lamb

Wherever she goes, I goes

Other guys all envied me before Mary's time (sha la la-la)

Nobody dreamed that I'd end up a livin' nursery rhyme (sha la la-la)

"Bring on the girls" I used to say, "I'm not impressed"

Then along came Mary and you all know the rest

Now I'm Mary's little lamb

She leads me by the nose

Now I'm Mary's little lamb

Wherever she goes, I goes


Yeah, I'm Mary's little lamb

She leads me by the nose

Now I'm Mary's little lamb

Wherever she goes, I goes

Yeah, now I'm Mary's little lamb

She leads me by the nose

Yeah, I'm Mary's little lamb

Wherever she goes, I goes

REPEAT and FADE
