Mary had a Little bike
The pump was up the front
And every time she hit a bump
The pump went up her leg
Mary had a little pig
She couldn't stop it gruntin'
So she took it out behind the shed
And kicked it's little head in

Mary had a bicycle,
She rode it on the grass,
And every time the wheel went round,
A spoke shot up her ..............back
