Let Us Go to the Wood, Says This Pig

Let Us Go to the Wood, Says This Pig - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


1. Let us go to the wood, says this pig;
2. What to do there? says that pig;
3. To look for my mother, says this pig;
4. What to do with her? says that pig;
5. To kiss her and love her, says this pig.
