Little Red Hen
Children's Nursery Rhyme Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Music with Mar.

This is the story of the little, red hen
Who wanted to bake some bread
She saw some friends in the barnyard and to them she said,
“Who would like to have some bread?”
“I would” oinked the pig;
“I would” quacked the duck
“I would” purred the cat;
“Well, all right”

And then she said “Who will mix the flour?”
“Not I” oinked the pig;
“Not I” quacked the duck
“Not I” purred the cat;
Well, all right. I’ll do it myself!”

And then she said “Who will knead the dough?”
“Not I” oinked the pig;
“Not I” quacked the duck
“Not I” purred the cat;
Well, all right. I’ll do it myself!”

And then she said “Who will bake the bread?”
“Not I” oinked the pig;
“Not I” quacked the duck
“Not I” purred the cat;
Well, all right. I’ll do it myself!”

The little, red hen did the chores alone and she baked the bread
She saw her friends in the barnyard and to them she said,
“Who would like to eat some bread?”
“I would” oinked the pig;
“I would quacked the duck;
“I would” purred the cat.
“No, you won’t! I’ll eat it myself!
