Mary Had a William Goat

Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
Oh, Mary had a William goat, William goat, William goat, Mary had a William goat, And he was lined with zinc.
He followed her to school one day, School one day, school one day, He followed her to school one day, And drank a pint of ink.
Oh, whoop-de-doo-den-doo-den-doo, Doo-de-doo, doo-de-doo, Whoop-de-doo-den-doo-den-doo, Doo-de-doo-de-doo.
Oh, once he ate an oyster can, Oyster can, oyster can, Once he ate an oyster can, Also a line of shirts.
The shirts can do no harm inside, Harm inside, harm inside, The shirts can do no harm inside, But oh! The oyster can!
Oh, whoop-de-doo-den-doo-den-doo, Doo-de-doo, doo-de-doo, Whoop-de-doo-den-doo-den-doo, Doo-de-doo-de-doo.
