This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy went wee wee wee,
All the way home.
Round and round the garden,
Like a teddy bear.
One step, two step,
Tickle you under there!

One grew, two grew, and so did all the rest.

Two little ears to hear each sound,
One little nose to smell what's sweet,
And two little hands to clap a beat.

Up and over the little mound.
Wiggling, wiggling, all the way,
The eensy weensy worm went out to play.

They bow to the captain, they bow just so.

Tapping away with each little hand.

Tap, tap, tap, just like me.
