Mary had a great big goat
With fleece of ebony,
And everywhere that Mary went
That red-eyed goat would be.
It followed her to church one day,
But didn’t go inside.
The children flocked to learn a bit
And soon became wide-eyed,
Because that goat (you may have guessed)
Was more than met the eye;
It taught them stuff they never dreamed
(More fun than milk and pie!).
It turned those kids all upside down,
Exposed their nubs and stubs,
Then left them perishing in sin,
That old goat Beelzebub.
