Home again, home again

ACTION RHYMES
The Tail of a Pig
(Tune: "The Wheels on the Bus")
The tail of the pig curls round and round
round and round, round and round.
The tail of the pig curls round and round
All through the mud.
…mouth of a pig goes oink, oink, oink.
…snout of a pig goes root, root, root.
…hooves of a pig go run, run, run.
…ears of a pig go twitch, twitch, twitch.
Pigs in the Mud
(Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
Roll, roll, roll around
In the mud all day.
That is what the pigs all do.
What a way to play!
Roll, roll, roll around
That is how they stay,
Oh, so very nice and cool
On a sunny day!
This Little Piggy
This little pig went to the market.
This little pig stayed home.
This little pig had roast beef.
This little pig had none.
And this little pig went
Wee, wee, wee, wee, all the way home.
This little pig said, “I want some corn.”
This little pig said, “Where are you going to get it?”
This little pig said, “Out of Master’s barn.”
This little pig said, “I’ll go and tell!”
And this little pig said, “Queeky, queeky, I can’t get over the barn door sill.”
An Old Woman Bought a Little Pig
An old woman bought a little pig,
Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink!
An old woman bought a little pig,
It didn’t cost much, ‘cause it wasn’t very big,
Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink!
Soon that pig did lots of harm,
Oink, oink, oink, - oink, oink, oink!
Soon that pig did lots of harm,
As it ran around the farm,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
An old woman chased that pig,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
An old woman chased that pig,
He was hard to catch, ‘cause he wasn’t very big,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
Then the woman sold her pig,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
Then the woman sold her pig,
She went back home and danced a jig,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
