The Pigs and the Wolf

Narrator Three little piggies Ran all the way home, Each to their own house, Each one lived alone.

Chorus All the little piggies, One, two, three, Each in his own house, Happy as can be. 

First Pig My house is made of straw. I built it myself.

Second Pig My house is made of sticks. Sticks are stronger than straw.  Third Pig My house is made of bricks. Bricks make the strongest house of all. 

Chorus Little pig houses, One, two, three, Each thinks his house Is strong as can be.

Narrator So will these piggies Be safe and sound, Inside their houses If Wolf comes’ round?

Chorus First little pig In his house of straw, Look out piggy, Wolf’s at the door!

Wolf Knock, knock! Anybody home?  First Pig Oh no! It’s big, bad Wolf. He’s knocking down my straw house door! 

Narrator Straight out the back The first pig hurries. To his brother’s stick house, He quickly scurries.  First Pig Let me in! The Wolf is coming!  Second Pig Quick, come inside. My stick house will Keep Wolf out.
