"Mary From the Dairy" is a comic song made famous by British comedian Max Miller in the 1930s and 1940s.

It was written by Max Miller, Sam Kern & Jerome Walsh.

It became Miller's signature tune, played by the orchestra when he walked on stage. It was a mildly risqué song about Max falling for Mary from the dairy and includes the lines "I don't do things by halves / I'll let you see my calves / and they're not the same shaped calves as Nellie Dean's"
