It Stayed With Her Mother

Double Songs

Work
The new song It Stayed With Her Mother All Day attempts to set the story straight and acts as a counter-melody to the children's song Mary Has A Little Lamb.

Lyrics

Performance
Always start by establishing the Footsies at Level 0.
         In this case, 0+4 for Mary Has A Little Lamb which will start on L(eft foot),
                             It Stayed With Her Mother All Dayis at a larger level
                                       and will start just before R, remember to wait.
                   Beat R, L, R before you start singing.
Sing Mary Has A Little Lamb followed by A Teeny Weeny Bit and make a loop of the 2 songs,
                   leaving no "space" between them.
         The children, in unison, will gradually join you.
Then you divide the participants in 2 equal groups,
         start the first group singing Mary Has A Little Lamb, and after they sing the last note,
         start the second group singing Mary Has A Little Lamb, on L,
                   the first group will continue with It Stayed With Her Mother All Day,
                             starting just before the following R.
         This produces the polyphony of the 2 simultaneous songs,
                   and the loops in both groups allow you to keep it going as long as required.
