Lyrics

Performance
Always start by establishing theFootsiesatLevel 0.
     In this case,0+4forMary Has A Little Lambwhich will start onL(eft foot),
                It Stayed With Her Mother All Dayis at a larger level
                    and will start just beforeR, remember to wait.
          BeatR, L, Rbefore youstartsinging.
SingMary Has A Little Lambfollowed byA Teeny Weeny Bitand 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 Has A Little Lamb, and after they sing the last note,
     start the second group singingMary Has A Little Lamb, onL,
          the first group will continue withIt Stayed With Her Mother All Day,
               starting just before the followingR.
     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.
