Hap Palmer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sonja share your sandbox with Emily Ann
Derek share your dump truck with little Dan
Adam share your animals with Andrew
And then they'll share their toys with you

Your friends just want a turn to play
They won't take your toys away
Good friends can have a lot more fun
When they share with everyone

Christy share your crayons with Camille and Kay
Dustin share your dolly with Korine
Mikey share your monkey with Mary Lou
And you can play with their toys too

Sheila share your shovel with Sandy and Sam
Patrick share your puzzle with Paul and Pam




Tina share your tricycle with Tommy too
And then they'll share their toys with you

on Piggy Toes

Ten little piggies run thumpity thud
Ten toes on feet hit the ground with sound

Ten little piggies squish into the mud
Ten toes push into the soft wet ground

Ten little piggies so soft and so sweet
Ten toes are gentle and lovely to greet

Don't you think toes are the best part of feet
Aren't the toes the finest of feet to meet

Chorus:
Refrain:

Jiggle your piggy toes, wiggle your piggy toes
Move your toes playfully, shake and wiggle them

Giggle and wiggle and jiggle your toes
Laugh and twist your toes, give them a little blow

Run those sweet piggies right up to your rosy nose
Bring those lovely toes up to your nose for a tickle

Run them right up to your nose
Get those little piggies right up to your nose

Ten little piggies dig into the rug
Ten toes push into the floor

Ten little piggies curl up like a bug
Ten toes twist up like a little beetle or bug

Ten little piggies go tippy tip toe
Ten toes move on their tips with a flow

Toes are the best part of feet don't you know
Toes are the finest, that's the way it should go

Run them right up to your nose
Get those toes right up to your nose

Chorus:
Refrain:

Music ...
Instrumental ...

Chorus:
Refrain:

Run them right up to your nose, piggy toes!
Get those toes up to the nose, wiggle your toes together
