Big Pig Henry and Little Pig Joe

Climbed up the pig pen gate

As far as they could go.

They’re waiting for their breakfast,

They watch for Farmer Joe;

He brings them milk and oatmeal

That helps to make them grow.

They see the farmer coming,

The piggies quick climb down,

The farmer opens wide the gate,

His pail sets on the ground.

He pours the food into the trough,

Each piggy wants it all;

They put both feet into the trough,

Then in the piggies fall.
