I Went to the Farm

(repeat first phrase and use whatever farmyard animal puppets you have)

I went to the farm, and what did I see?
A big chubby pig oinking at me!
A big brown horse neighing at me!
A fluffy chicken clucking at me!
A sleepy sheep baaing at me!

Little Pigs Say Oink-Oink-Oink

(Tune: Mary Had A Little Lamb)

Little pigs say oink-oink-oink,

Oink-oink-oink, oink-oink-oink,

Little pigs say oink-oink-oink

All around the farm.

(repeat with other animals)
