Take it from me,
I just found somethin' to see,
Oh it's a a pig, it does the boogie, yes sirree,
And he really gets to do it solidly,
You mean he really gets to do it solidly!

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
But this little piggy was a booglie wooglie piggy,
And he boogie woogied all the way home!

This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
But this little piggy was a booglie wooglie piggy,
And he did the Lindy all the way home!

Oink oink, piggly wiggy piggy,
Oink oink, booglie woogie boogie,
Oink oink, oink oink,
The booglie wooglie piggly with the oink oink!

This little piggy dug two beats,
This piggy thought the waltz was divine,
But this little piggy was a hep little piggy,
And he boogie woogied all o' the time!

This little piggy dug two beats,
This piggy thought the waltz divine,
But this little piggy was a hep little piggy,
And he boogie woogied all o' the time!
This little piggy was a hep little piggy,
And he boogie woogied all o' the time!
