Miss Mary Mack

(Often performed as a hand-clapping game)

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 fifty 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 didn't come back, back, back
'Til the Fourth of July, 'ly, 'ly!
(Sometimes ends: 'Til the middle of July, 'ly, 'ly!)
