This little pig had a rub-a-dub-dub (wash one leg)
This little pig had a scrub-a-scrub-scrub (wash the other leg)
This little pig ran upstairs (run finger up child's arms)

And this little piggy ate all of the jam. Yum, yum, yum! (rub child's tummy)
Bounces:
She fell into the bathtub
She fell into the sink
She fell into the raspberry jam
And came out pink!
We put her in the backyard
And left her in the rain
By half past suppertime
It washed her clean again!
After my bath I try, try, try
To wipe myself 'til I'm dry, dry, dry
Hands to wipe and fingers and toes
And two wet legs and a shiny nose
Just think how much less time I'd take
If I were a dog and could shake, shake, shake!
Down at the bottom of the deep blue sea
Catching fishes for our tea
With a one and a two and a three! (lift baby)

On your face, on your face

Rain on the green grass
Rain on the trees
Rain on the housetop
But not on me!
It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
He went to bed with a bump on his head
And he couldn't get up in the morning.

Two little bluebirds sitting on a wall
One named Peter, one named Paul
Fly away Peter, fly away Paul
Come back Peter, come back Paul.
Round and round the haystack
Looking for a hare
Where shall we find one?
Oh! Right there!
Round about, round about
Went the wee mouse
Up a bit, up a bit
Into his house.

Chased him up the apple tree

"I like coffee, I like tea
I like my friends and my friends like me."

To market to market to buy a fat pig
Home again home again jiggity jig.

We all fall down!
The cows are in the meadow
Eating buttercups
1,2,3,4
We all jump up!
As I was walking down the street
Down the street, down the street
A nice new friend I chanced to meet
High-ho, high-ho, high-ho
A rig-a-jig-jig-jig and away we go
Away we go, away we go
A rig-a-jig-jig-jig and away we go
High-h0, high-ho, high-ho!
