I don't think Mary, Mary is quite long enough. Or, the version I know isn't. It's four lines:

'Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells,

And pretty maids all in a row.'

Hey Diddle Diddle is sort of in the same boat. Little Miss Muffet at least has two verses, 8 lines, and Mary Had a Little Lamb can have quite a few verses depending on the singer based around where the lamb follows her. Though I suppose he is using Ring Around the Rosie, which is like 4 lines as well...
