Lyrics

Performance
Always start by establishing theFootsiesatLevel 0.
     In this case,0+4forMary Has A Little Lambwhich will start onL(eft foot).
          BeatR, L, Rbefore youstartsinging.
SingMary Had A Little Lambfollowed byIt Followed Her To School One Day
     and make a loop of the 2 sections,
          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 at the end of the line,
     start the second group singing at the beginning (the first line), onL,
          as the first group continues with the second line.
     This produces the constant polyphony of 2 adjacent lines,
          and the loop at the end allows you to keep it going as long as required.
