Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary - Nursery Rhyme Rap

Pretty maids all in a row
(Pretty maids all in a row)
(Pretty maids all in a row)

Now Mary has a secret, she doesn't like to tell
About her pretty flowers and how they grow so well
Some say she's quite contrary, and maybe that is true
But if you do what Mary does, your flowers will grow for you

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
Dig, dig, dig
Dig, dig, dig
Dig, dig, dig
Okay

Pretty maids all in a row
(Pretty maids all in a row)
(Pretty maids all in a row)

Let's visit Mary's garden and see what she has got
A buttercup, a daffodil, a blue forget-me-not
She gives them lots of water and pulls up all the weeds
And Mary visits every day, to check her growing seeds

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
Plant the seeds
Plant the seeds
Water the seeds
Water the seeds
And wait

Pretty maids all in a row
(Pretty maids all in a row) and wait
(Pretty maids all in a row)

So we have dug some holes and planted all our seeds
And given them some water and tended to their needs
But Mary says, one moment, there's something we forgot
You put it round the flowers, it helps them grow a lot

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
I know what it is, it's a compost
Up they come, up they come
Watch them grow, watch them grow

Pretty maids all in a row
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row

Pretty maids all in a row
(Pretty maids all in a row)
(Pretty maids all in a row)
