Contrary Mary


from the ABC set Mary had a little limb...and other silly things.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
“I use camel poo from Timbuktu,
It’s the best fertiliser I know, know, know,
It’s the best fertiliser I know.”

'...And pretty maids all in a row, row, row,
And pretty maids all in a row.'

That's how I remember singing the original as a kid. Perhaps I'm wrong. Don't worry, wandelaar - I won't be entering into any competitions. Thanks for reading.
