Welcome, welcome, everyone,
Now we're here let's have some fun.

The pigs are pink and plump,

They cool themselves in mud all day.
The pigs are pink and plump.The pigs have curly tails,
The pigs have curly tails.
The mother pig is called a sow.
The pigs have curly tails.The piglets are so cute.
The piglets are so cute.
The piglets are the baby pigs.
The piglets are so cute.
One Little Pig Went Out to Play
One little pig went out to play,
In a huge mud puddle one wet day.
She found it such enormous fun,
that she called for another little pig to come.
Two little pigs went out to play,
In an huge mud puddle one wet day.
They found it such enormous fun,
That they called for another little pig to come.Three little pigs went out to play,
In a huge mud puddle one wet day.
The mud went whoosh, the mud went splat,
And all of a sudden they all fell flat.
The Tail of the 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.
(circle finger round and round)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 through the mud.
(Put hand in front of mouth like a snout and “oink”!)The trotters of a pig go run, run, run
run, run, run, run, run, run.
The hooves of pig go run, run, run
All through the mud.
(Pretend like you are running)The ears of a pig go twitch, twitch, twitch
twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch.
The ears of a pig go twitch, twitch, twitch
All through the mud.
(Put hands up by ears and wiggle them back and forth)
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
