Oh, Mary Mac, Mac, Mac
All dressed in black, black, black
She wore 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 the fence, fence, fence.
He jumped so high, high, high
He reached the sky, sky, sky
And he didn't come back, back, back
'Til the forth of July, July, July.
Compare the above rhymes with this teasing rhyme that uses the "Fifty cents...elephant jump the fence."
