Above all others is the pig | A |
Pigs are noble Pigs are clever | B |
Pigs are courteous However | B |
Now and then to break this rule | C |
One meets a pig who is a fool | C |
What for example would you say | D |
If strolling through the woods one day | D |
Right there in front of you you saw | E |
A pig who'd built his house of STRAW | E |
The Wolf who saw it licked his lips | F |
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 pray | D |
But Wolfie blew his house away | D |
He shouted 'Bacon pork and ham | H |
Oh what a lucky Wolf I am ' | - |
And though he ate the pig quite fast | I |
He carefully kept the tail till last | I |
Wolf wandered on a trifle bloated | J |
Surprise surprise for soon he noted | K |
Another little house for pigs | L |
And this one had been built of TWIGS | L |
- | |
'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 blow | M |
The little pig began to squeal | N |
He cried 'Oh Wolf you've had one meal | N |
Why can't we talk and make a deal | N |
The Wolf replied 'Not on your nelly ' | - |
And soon the pig was in his belly | O |
- | |
'Two juicy little pigs ' Wolf cried | P |
'But still I'm not quite satisfied | P |
I know how full my tummy's bulging | Q |
But oh how I adore indulging ' | - |
So creeping quietly as a mouse | R |
The Wolf approached another house | R |
A house which also had inside | P |
A little piggy trying to hide | P |
'You'll not get me ' the Piggy cried | P |
'I'll blow you down ' the Wolf replied | P |
'You'll need ' Pig said 'a lot of puff | S |
And I don't think you've got enough ' | - |
Wolf huffed and puffed and blew and blew | T |
The house stayed up as good as new | T |
'If I can't blow it down ' Wolf said | U |
I'll have to blow it up instead | U |
I'll come back in the dead of night | V |
And blow it up with dynamite ' | - |
Pig cried 'You brute I might have known ' | - |
Then picking up the telephone | W |
He dialed as quickly as he could | X |
The number of red Riding Hood | X |
- | |
'Hello ' she said 'Who's speaking Who | T |
Oh hello Piggy how d'you do ' | - |
Pig cried 'I need your help Miss Hood | X |
Oh help me please D'you think you could ' | - |
'I'll try of course ' Miss Hood replied | P |
'What's on your mind ' 'A Wolf ' Pig cried | P |
'I know you've dealt with wolves before | Y |
And now I've got one at my door ' | - |
- | |
'My darling Pig ' she said 'my sweet | Z |
That's something really up my street | Z |
I've just begun to wash my hair | A2 |
But when it's dry I'll be right there ' | - |
- | |
A short while later through the wood | X |
Came striding brave Miss Riding Hood | X |
The Wolf stood there his eyes ablaze | B2 |
And yellowish like mayonnaise | B2 |
His teeth were sharp his gums were raw | C2 |
And spit was dripping from his jaw | E |
Once more the maiden's eyelid flickers | D2 |
She draws the pistol from her knickers | D2 |
Once more she hits the vital spot | E2 |
And kills him with a single shot | E2 |
Pig peeping through the window stood | X |
And yelled 'Well done Miss Riding Hood ' | - |
- | |
Ah Piglet you must never trust | F2 |
Young ladies from the upper crust | F2 |
For now Miss Riding Hood one notes | G2 |
Not only has two wolfskin coats | G2 |
But when she goes from place to place | H2 |
She has a PIGSKIN TRAVELING CASE | H2 |
