Three Little Pig Poem, Song, and Music
I pray heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that shall here after inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof.
Introduction
This page includes a version of the Three Little Pigs as a choral reading with a narrrator and a chorus. It includes the musical score.
The story
Narrator:
This is a story by old Mother Goose
About three little pigs who were on the loose.
Narrator:
The first little pig built a house of straw,
The shakiest house or the cutest little house that you ever saw!
When the big bad wolf saw it he said,
Chorus:
“Little pig little pig won't you let me come in?”
“Oh, not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin.”
“Little pig little pig if you don't let me in!”
“I’ll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!”
Narrator:
So he huffed - Chorus (huff huff)
And he puffed - Chorus (puff puff)
Chorus And he blew the house in.
Narrator:
Just as the first little pig ran out the back door to the second pig’s house.
Narrator:
Now the second pig built a house out of sticks
The shakiest house or the cutest little house that you ever saw!
But the bad old wolf was still up to his tricks.
So when the big bad wolf got to it he said,
Chorus:
“Little pig little pig won't you let me come in!”
“Oh, not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin.”
“Little pig little pig if you don't let me in!”
“I’ll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!”
Narrator:
So he huffed - Chorus (huff huff)
And he puffed - Chorus (puff puff)
Chorus And he blew the house in.
Narrator:
Just as the first and second little pig ran out the back door to the third pig’s house.
Narrator:
Now the third pig built a house out of bricks
Of course the bricks were stronger than sticks
and they were stronger than straw!
The sturdiest house or solidest little house that you ever saw!
Narrator:
But the bad old wolf was still up to his tricks
So When the big bad wolf got to it he said,
Chorus:
“Little pig little pig won't you let me come in!”
“Oh, not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin.”
“Little pig little pig if you don't let me in!”
I’ll climb down the chimney and do you all in.”
Narrator:
But the three little pigs stayed in the sturdy brick house.
and they said,
Chorus: “Come in, come in
Chorus: We're ready to serve you.”
Narrator and Chorus Chant:
So the pigs had a fire, big and red hot
And boiling water in a big, black pot.
While the wolf climbed up and plopped in the chimney (kerr plop)
And down he slid, slippity slippity splot!
Into the water in the big black pot.
But that's okay, ‘cause it SERVED HIM RIGHT or WAS HE JUST DOING WHAT WOLVES DO?!
