3 Little Piggies

from Telling tales by Caroline Blundell

/

lyrics

Once upon a time there were 3 little piggies
They were as happy as the day was long
Gather 'round and listen to my story
For the choices they made are the reason for my song

One day their mom said "Come now my piggies
It's time for you to leave this happy home
Go out and find a place to build your own houses
But please take the time to make them really strong

Because the Big Bad Wolf will come to your door
He loves eating pork and he always wants more
He'll say "Little pig, little pig, let me in!",
And if your house isn't strong he will blow the door in.
So please pay attention and mind what I say
Or you won't live to see another day!"

The first little piggy got some straw from a farmer
He didn't care what his mother had said
He was a lazy little piggy who didn't like to work
He took the easy way and he ended up dead!

The second little pig built his house of sticks
He knew it would be easier than building with bricks
He didn't remember the warnings of his mother
Hell he even forgot what had happened to his brother!

And the Big Bad Wolf, he came to the door
He had tasted pork before and wanted some more
He said "Little pig, little pig, let me in!",
"Not by the hair on my chinnie chin chin!"
So he huffed and he puffed and the house collapsed
He gobbled up the piggy and that was that!

The 3rd little pig was a clever little porker
He built his house of mortar and stone
It took many hours, but he thought about his brothers
And it gave him the strength to get it all done

And the Big Bad Wolf, he came to the door
He has eaten pork before and wanted some more
He said "Little pig, little pig, let me in!"
"Not by the hair on my chinnie chin chin!"
Wolf tried to break it down, but the house stood strong
Now we're nearly at the end of my song

Wolf was determined so he climbed up on the roof
He thought the chimney was a way to get in
But our piggy made a fire for a large pot of soup
It was boiling away when the wolf fell in

Some cautionary tales can have a happy ending
And this is one that I bring to you
The mom was invited to a house-warming dinner
And they say down and gobbled up a yummy wolf stew
