Lyrics

(Folk song)

Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack
All dress in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For fifty cents, cents, cents
To see the elephant, elephant, elephant
Jump over the fence, fence, fence
He jumped so high, high, high,
He reached the sky, sky, sky
And he never came back, back, back
‘Til the 4th of July, lie, lie.
