L y r i c s:
Merry Mary Contrary
by Crystal Eastman and Filippo DeAngelis

Far flung repertoire
Deep in her reservoir
Of countless hooks
And endless books

Mary, Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
She's got a small garden in her house

A simple stone 
A ripple, a drone
Poised like a cliff
Catch her riff

Not an oracle
Nor even a miracle
Not a human bomb
But somewhat calm

She always responds
I have no crown
But I'm merry
And contrary
