The Little Red Hen

Lyrics

The little red hen thought that she would
Plant the wheat and it would be good
To ask her friends to help

CHORUS
‘Not I’ said the dog
‘Not I’ said the cat
‘Not I’ said the duck
‘Not I’ said the pig
Then I’ll just have to do it myself

Soon the wheat had grown up tall
The time had come to cut it all
She asked her friends to help

CHORUS

The wheat had to be ground in to flour
She knew it would take, many an hour
She asked her friends to help

CHORUS

The next thing to do was bake the bread
Maybe her friends would like to be fed
She asked them all to help

CHORUS

Soon the bread was ready to eat
Her friends all thought we’ll have a little treat
But the little hen shook her head
You did not help me plant the wheat or grind it into flour
So I think that I instead will eat up all this bread
That’s how the story goes, the answer was 4 ‘Nos’

No bread for the dog
No bread for the cat
No bread for the duck
No bread for the pig
And she said ‘I’ll eat it myself’
And she did!

The Enormous Turnip

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

A turnip did grow and grow and grow
Until it was enormous
An old man tried to pull it up
He pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The old man asked his wife to help
To help pull up the turnip
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The old man’s wife then asked a boy
To help pull up the turnip
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The boy then asked a girl to help
To help pull up the turnip
The girl pulled the boy
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

The girl then called out to a dog
The dog called a cat
The cat called a mouse
To help pull up the turnip
The mouse pulled the cat
The cat pulled the dog
The dog pulled the girl
The girl pulled the boy
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man

The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
And pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
And pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled…

SPOKEN
And finally after one last HUGE pull….
Up came a gigantic, an absolutely enormous turnip!!!
