Ode to Jet

Jet singing along

Mary had a Little Lamb rewritten
for my daughter Lola, and our dog Jet.

Lola has a furry dog,
Furry dog, furry dog,
Lola has a furry dog,
His fur is black as coal

Everywhere that Lola goes,
Lola goes, Lola goes,
Everywhere that Lola goes
Her dog is sure to go

He followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
He followed her to school one day
Trudging through the snow

It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a dog they know

And so the teacher turned him out,
Turned him out, turned him out,
And so the teacher turned him out,
But still he lingered near

And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Till Lola did appear

"Why does the dog love Lola so?"
Love Lola so? Love Lola so?
"Why does the dog love Lola so?"
The children want to know

"Why, Lola loves the dog, you know"
Loves the dog, you know, loves the dog, you know
"Why, Lola loves her Jet, you know"
The teacher said it so
