SELECTION TO USE :

This little pig went to market
This litte pig stayed home
This little pig had roast beef
This little pig had none.
This little pig said,
« Wee, wee, wee »
All the way home.

Hold baby's big toe and wiggle gently
Hold baby's next toe and wiggle
Hold baby's next toe and wiggle
Hold baby's next toe and wiggle
Hold baby's next toe and wiggle
Then run your fingers up to his neck
and tickle gently.

To buy a fat pig
Home again, home again
