Ah very very poor was she	A
Old Dame Pig with her children three	A
Robust beautiful little ones	B
Were those three sons	B
Each wearing always without fail	C
A little fanciful knot in his tail	C
	-
But never enough of sour or sweet	D
Had they to eat	D
And so one day with a piteous squeak	E
Did the mother speak	E
My sons your fortune you must seek	E
And out in the world as they were sent	F
The three pigs went	F
	-
Trotting along the first one saw	G
A man who carried a bundle of straw	G
Give me some straw for a house and bed	H
The little pig said	H
Straightway not even waiting a bit	I
The kind man did as he was bid	J
And the little pig built a house of it	I
	-
But he was no more than settled before	K
A wolf came along and knocked at the door	K
Tap tap and cried	L
Little pig little pig let me come in	M
But the pig replied	L
No no by the hair of my chinny chin chin	M
The old wolf grumbled and added beside	L
Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in	M
	-
He was gray and big	N
And he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in	M
And he ate up the poor little pig	N
	-
The very next day	O
All blithe and gay	O
The second little pig went marching away	O
To the world to find his fortune And when	P
He met two men	P
Who bore on their shoulders bunches of furze	G
My gentle sirs	G
Give me some furze for a house and bed	H
The little pig said	H
They gave it him freely every whit	I
And the little pig built a house of it	I
	-
But he could no more than get in before	K
The wolf came along and knocked at the door	K
Little pig little pig let me come in	M
But the pig replied	L
No no by the hair of my chinny chin chin	M
Then the old wolf growled and added beside	L
Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in	M
	-
He was fierce and big	N
And he huffed and he puffed	Q
And he puffed and he huffed	Q
And he blew the house in	M
And he ate up the poor little pig	N
	-
And then the third little pig went out	R
With his curly tail and his saucy snout	R
Up to all kinds of pranks and tricks	G
And he met a man with a load of bricks	G
And he said I suppose	G
You are perfectly willing to give me those	G
	-
By the begging he got them every one	S
And in a trice	G
Was the house begun	S
And very shortly the house was done	S
Plastered and snug and nice	G
	-
And along came the same wolf as before	K
And knocked at the door	K
Thump thump and cried	L
Little pig little pig let me come in	M
But the pig replied	L
No no by the hair of my chinny chin chin	M
Then the wolf filled his cheeks out on each side	L
Like a bellows to blow	T
And he howled O ho	T
Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in	M
	-
Well he huffed and he puffed and he huffed	Q
And he puffed and he huffed and he puffed	Q
But with all his huffing	U
And all his puffing	U
The house would not fall in	M
	-
And so despite	V
His appetite	V
He was forced to go with never a bite	V
And for once at least was cheated out	R
Of the little pig with the saucy snout	R
	-
Of the wily kind	W
Though he was and he whined	W
I know little pig where we can find	W
Some nice fresh turnips Pig grunted Where	X
O over at Smith's in his home field	W
It's not far there	X
If it's pleasant weather	Y
Shall we go together	Y
To morrow at six Yes piggie squealed	W
	-
But what should the little pig contrive	Z
But to rise at five	Z
Next day and to go through the early dew	W
To the field where the turnips grew	W
They were plenty and sweet	W
And he ate of them all he cared to eat	W
And took enough for his dinner and then	P
Went home again	P
	-
The wolf came promptly at six o'clock	A2
Gave a friendly knock	A2
And asked the pig Are you ready to go	T
Why I'd have you know	T
I've already been there and beside	W
I've enough for dinner the pig replied	W
	-
The wolf saw then	P
He was cheated again	P
But I know where's a lovely apple tree	A
In a winsome voice said he	A
And the wise little pig from where he sat	W
Peered out and smiled Where's that	W
At the Merry Garden if you'll be fair	X
And it's pleasant weather	Y
We two together	Y
At five in the morning will go there	X
	-
Ah sly and cunning	U
The little pig was for as early as four	K
He was out next day and running running	U
Hoping to get the apples before	K
The wolf was up But the apple tree	A
Proved twice as far as he thought 'twould be	A
	-
He climbed the boughs in the greatest haste	W
And thought to himself I'll only taste	W
As a bit of a lunch	B2
But soon crunch crunch	B2
He had eaten a score then what should he see	A
But the big gray wolf just under the tree	A
	-
Yes there he stood	W
Trying to look as meek as he could	W
And he said Little pig are the apples good	W
Pig thought he should fall from where he sat	W
So heavy his heart went pit a pat	W
But he answered The nicest under the sun	S
I'll throw down one	S
	-
The wolf ran after it as he threw it	W
And before he knew it	W
The pig was out of the tree and as fleet	W
As his four little feet	W
Could scamper he fled	W
On into his house while after him sped	W
The wolf with a savage voice and face	G
In a furious chase	G
He was long and slim	C2
But the little pig proved too swift for him	C2
	-
Still he came again the very next day	W
And he knocked and called Little pig I pray	W
You will go to the Shanklin Fair with me	A
Be ready and I will call at three	A
	-
Now the pig as he had always done	S
Got the start of the wolf and went at one	S
At the fair he bought him a butter churn	D2
And with it started out to return	D2
But who should he meet	W
The very first one he chanced to spy	E2
Upon the street	W
But the wolf and it frightened him dreadfully	A
	-
So he crept inside	W
His churn to hide	W
It began to roll he began to ride	W
Around and around	W
Along the ground	W
He passed the wolf with a bump and bound	W
	-
He was frightened worse than he'd frightened the pig	N
By the funny rumbling rig	N
And he fled in dismay	W
Far out of his own and the little pig's way	W
	-
Yet in due time for I suppose	G
He was nearly starved his pattering toes	G
Were heard again at the little pig's door	K
Such a haunted look his visage wore	K
When the tale he told	W
Of the beast that bumped and bounded and rolled	W
Up hill down hill and everywhere	X
And chased him away from the Shanklin Fair	X
	-
Then with all his might	W
The little pig laughed outright	W
Giving a jocular scornful shout	W
With his saucy snout	W
As he cried O how would you like to learn	D2
'Twas a churn and that I was in the churn	D2
	-
Then the wolf exclaimed I hate your tricks	G
Your bolted door and your house of bricks	G
I'll eat you anyway that I'll do	W
I'll come down the chimney after you	W
	-
But the pig built a fire high and hot	W
And filled with water his dinner pot	W
And just as the wolf came down the flue	W
Scraping his ribs as he slipped through	W
What did he do	W
But lift the cover and let him fall	F2
Into the pot hide hair and all	F2
	-
And what next he did	W
Was to slide the lid	W
Quick over the pot It's boiling hot	W
It'll maybe cook him and maybe not	W
He cried in glee	A
But I'll let him be	A
And when it is dinner time I'll see	A
	-
That day he dined quite to his mind	W
And he mused to himself I'm half inclined	W
To think by the hair of my chinny chin chin	M
That this is the best way to take wolves in	M
