I’m Just Wild About Harry was the most popular number of the Broadway show Shuffle Along. That was the first financially successful Broadway play to have African-American writers and an all African-American cast. The song broke what had been a taboo against musical and stage depictions of romantic love between African-Americans.

Mary had a little lamb [song lyrics]

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.
