Heard these on the playground in Julian California beginning in 1988. I think the Mary Little Lamb variation is from Mad Magazine
MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
Mary had a little lamb
Which fleeece was white as snow
and everywhere that Mary went
the lamb was sure to go.
Then one day the price of meat raised
which really didn’t please her
But tonight she’s having leg of lamb
and the rest is in the freezer
ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT
Row, Row, Row, your boat
Gently down the stream
Push your teacher over board
And listen to her scream
Five days later floating down the Delware
Chewing on her underwear
Couldn’t afford another pair
Ten days latter bitten by a polar bear
… Poor little polar bear died
