The animal I really digA
Above all others is the pigA
Pigs are noble Pigs are cleverB
Pigs are courteous HoweverB
Now and then to break this ruleC
One meets a pig who is a foolC
What for example would you sayD
If strolling through the woods one dayD
Right there in front of you you sawE
A pig who'd built his house of STRAWE
The Wolf who saw it licked his lipsF
And said 'That pig has had his chips 'G
'Little pig little pig let me come in 'G
'No no by the hairs on my chinny chin chin 'G
'Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in 'G
-
The little pig began to prayD
But Wolfie blew his house awayD
He shouted 'Bacon pork and hamH
Oh what a lucky Wolf I am '-
And though he ate the pig quite fastI
He carefully kept the tail till lastI
Wolf wandered on a trifle bloatedJ
Surprise surprise for soon he notedK
Another little house for pigsL
And this one had been built of TWIGSL
-
'Little pig little pig let me come in '-
'No no by the hairs on my chinny chin chin '-
'Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in '-
-
The Wolf said 'Okay here we go '-
He then began to blow and blowM
The little pig began to squealN
He cried 'Oh Wolf you've had one mealN
Why can't we talk and make a dealN
The Wolf replied 'Not on your nelly '-
And soon the pig was in his bellyO
-
'Two juicy little pigs ' Wolf criedP
'But still I'm not quite satisfiedP
I know how full my tummy's bulgingQ
But oh how I adore indulging '-
So creeping quietly as a mouseR
The Wolf approached another houseR
A house which also had insideP
A little piggy trying to hideP
'You'll not get me ' the Piggy criedP
'I'll blow you down ' the Wolf repliedP
'You'll need ' Pig said 'a lot of puffS
And I don't think you've got enough '-
Wolf huffed and puffed and blew and blewT
The house stayed up as good as newT
'If I can't blow it down ' Wolf saidU
I'll have to blow it up insteadU
I'll come back in the dead of nightV
And blow it up with dynamite '-
Pig cried 'You brute I might have known '-
Then picking up the telephoneW
He dialed as quickly as he couldX
The number of red Riding HoodX
-
'Hello ' she said 'Who's speaking WhoT
Oh hello Piggy how d'you do '-
Pig cried 'I need your help Miss HoodX
Oh help me please D'you think you could '-
'I'll try of course ' Miss Hood repliedP
'What's on your mind ' 'A Wolf ' Pig criedP
'I know you've dealt with wolves beforeY
And now I've got one at my door '-
-
'My darling Pig ' she said 'my sweetZ
That's something really up my streetZ
I've just begun to wash my hairA2
But when it's dry I'll be right there '-
-
A short while later through the woodX
Came striding brave Miss Riding HoodX
The Wolf stood there his eyes ablazeB2
And yellowish like mayonnaiseB2
His teeth were sharp his gums were rawC2
And spit was dripping from his jawE
Once more the maiden's eyelid flickersD2
She draws the pistol from her knickersD2
Once more she hits the vital spotE2
And kills him with a single shotE2
Pig peeping through the window stoodX
And yelled 'Well done Miss Riding Hood '-
-
Ah Piglet you must never trustF2
Young ladies from the upper crustF2
For now Miss Riding Hood one notesG2
Not only has two wolfskin coatsG2
But when she goes from place to placeH2
She has a PIGSKIN TRAVELING CASEH2
