Mary Had a Little Lamb is an American nursery rhyme, first published as a poem by Sarah Josepha Hale on May 24, 1830, possibly inspired by an actual incident. In the 1830s, Lowell Mason set the nursery rhyme to a melody adding repetition in the verses:
Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece was white as snow.
Baby Face is a popular song from 1926, used in multiple movies, including Casablanca and (of course) Baby Face. It’s been recorded by a wide variety of artists, including (among many others):
[Editor’s note: in Knock on Wood, Dooley sings the question, and the audience answers]
Peggy Sawyer (Ruby Keeler): Now that we have had the rice and flowers
The knot is tied
I can visualize such happy hours
Right by your side
Billy Lawler (Dick Powell): The honeymoon in store
Is one that you’ll adore
I’m gonna take you for a ride
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
