Little Mary Make-Believe       (no attribution)

Little Mary Make-Believe,
How she makes her family grieve,
Sitting hard as she is able,
Banging! Banging! on the table.

She thinks she is a singer fine,
For she is singing all the time;
She sings so loud her voice is rasping,
Out of breath, for air she's gasping.

On and on and on she sings,
Till the bell for dinner rings;
Then her face shines with delight,
For Mary has an appetite.

Singing is an exercise
That makes her long for mother's pies,
It is a happy kind of play,
And helps her pass the time away.
