| Above all others is the pig | A |
| Pigs are noble Pigs are clever | 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 ' | - |

| 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 ' | - |

| '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 |
