We wave and sing hello…
We stomp and sing hello…

To market, to market (march slowly in place)
To buy a fat pig.
Home again, home again (hop)
Jiggety jig.

Dickery, dickery dare,
The pig flew up in the air.
The man in brown
Soon brought him down!
Dickery, dickery, dare.
The Tail of a Pig
tune: Wheels on the Bus
The tail of a pig curls round and round
Round and round, round and round
The tail of a pig curls round and round
All through the mud
The mouth of a pig goes oink, oink, oink,
Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink,
The mouth of a pig goes oink, oink, oink,
All day long.
The hooves of a pig go run, run, run,
Run, run, run, run, run, run,
The hooves of a pig go run, run, run,
All day long.

I’m a Little Piggy
Tune: I’m a Little Teapot
I’m a little piggy
Short and stout (bend up and down)
Here are my ears (point to ears)
And here is my snout (point to nose)
When I see the yummy food in my pail (put hand up over eyes like you are looking)
I oink, oink oink (oink!)
and wiggle my tail (wiggle your piggy tails!)

We stomp goodbye like this…
