Lyrics

Down south in the forests
Lives a stout-bodied rodent
With a voice oh so high like a bird
His modern cousin
Many patterns and colors
Spread now to all parts of the world

Run little piggy
Eat well little piggy
Please don’t be so scared of the giants
We’re here just to see you, to feed you, to heal you
You bring immense joy to our lives

Mealtimes a-squeaking
Snack times still more wheeking
Parsley, hay, bell peppers, dandelion
Fresh lettuce to calm them
Cut carrots to charm them
Scurry scurry in the cage — that’s all mine

Run little piggy
Eat well little piggy
Please don’t be so scared of the giants
We’re here just to see you, to feed you, to heal you
To bring immense joy to your life

We wish they would stay
More than the few years and a day
That is, sad to say, nature’s grant
But recalling the joy our furry friends bring each day
Our love for them grows — that’s a fact

Run little piggy
Eat well little piggy
Please don’t be so scared of the giants
We’re here just to see you, to feed you, to heal you
You’ve brought immense joy to our lives
