Lyrics

Performance
Always start by establishing theFootsiesatLevel 0.
     In this case, both songs are at the same level and will start onL(eft foot),
                0+2forBaa! Baa! Black Sheepand0+4forMary Had A Little Lamb.
          BeatR, L, Rbefore youstartsinging.
SingMary Had A Little Lambfollowed byBaa! Baa! Black Sheepand 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 singingMary Had A Little Lamb, and when they reachBaa! Baa! Black Sheep,
     start the second group singingMary Had A Little Lamb.
          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.
