Listen, listen, listen in Storytime.
Have you ever heard of a pig who likes to dance a jig?
There's one in today's story, as well as a cat with a fiddle and a dog with a drum.
Shh, listen, listen.
The story's called Jiggy Pig.
Once upon a dancing time, there was a pig called Jiggy Pig.
She was a very good dancer.
Her favourite dance was a jig.
Hey diddle dig, the pig did a jig with a jiggy jig jig.
One day, Jiggy Pig heard that the Queen was having a birthday party that was big, big, big.
She knew the queen loved dancing.
So she said, I'm going to dance my jig for the queen.
Jiggy Pig decided she would jig all the way there.
So she set off for the queen's palace and... Hey diddle dig, the pig did a jig with a jiggy jig jig.
It wasn't long before Jiggy Pig heard a... And there was Kit the Cat sitting on a mat.
Well, hey diddle diddle, the cat played a fiddle.
Kit the Cat said Hey, Jiggy Pig, that's a good jig.
Queen's birthday party, that is big big big, said jiggy pig.
Cool, said kit the cat, then you'll need a fiddle to play for your jig.
Oh that i will, and i'll dance for the queen with all my skill, said jiggy pig.
So when they set off for the queen's palace Hey diddle, diddle.
The cat had a fiddle.
Hey diddle dig, the pig did a jig, with a jiggy jig jig.
It wasn't long before Jiggy Pig heard a... And she saw... Doug the dog.
Well, hey diddle dum, the dog played a drum.
Doug the dog said, Hey, Jiggy Pig, that's a good jig.
It's for the Queen's birthday party.
That is big, big, big, said Jiggy Pig.
Cool, said Doug the dog.
Then you'll need a drum to play some jiggy music.
Oh, that I will.
And I'll dance for the queen with all my skill, said Jiggy Pig.
So when they set off for the queen's palace... Hey diddle dum, the dog had a drum.
Hey diddle diddle, the cat had a fiddle.
Hey diddle dig, the pig did a jig.
With a jiggy-jig-jig.
It wasn't long before they reached the Queen's Palace.
But the guards wouldn't let them in.
You can't come to the party that is big big big, little pig, unless you have a big big, big party invitation.
Puss off, he said.
But Jiggy Pig had a big, big, big idea.
She asked her new friends to start playing their music.
So, hey diddle dum, the dog played his drum.
Hey diddle diddle, the cat played his fiddle.
Hey diddle dig, the pig did a jig with a jiggy jig jig.
Jiggy Pig hadn't been dancing long when she noticed that someone else was jigging along with her.
She looked up and there was the Queen herself.
I loved your jig so much that I had to join in, said the Queen.
So with a hey diddle dig, the queen did a jig with a jiggy jig jig.
Then the queen said i want you all to come inside for a big big, big party tea.
And the queen, Jiggy Pig, Kit the Cat and Doug the Dog all danced at the party.
With a Hey diddle dig, the pig did a jig with a jiggy jig jig.
Hey diddle dig, the pig did a jig with a jiggy jig jig.
Our last song is the Hey Diddle Jig.
It's time for you to join in again.
Clap along in time to the music or tap your feet on the floor.
Hey diddle dig, hey diddle dig.
The pig did a jig with a jiggy jiggy jig jig.
The pig did a jig with a jiggy jiggy jig jig jig.
Ah, here comes a cat.
Hey diddle diddle, hey diddle diddle.
The cat played a fiddle with a fiddle-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.
The cat played a fiddle with a fiddle-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.
It's the dog's turn now.
Hey diddle dum, hey diddle dum, the dog played a drum with a dum dee dum dee dum dee dum.
The dog played a drum with a dum dee dum dee dum dee dum dum.
Time for all the animals to cheer.
Hey diddle dig.
Hey diddle dig.
They all danced a jig with a jiggy jiggy jig jig.
They all danced a jig with a jiggy jiggy jig jig jig.
Ooh, what a lot of jigging and dancing.
I'm quite worn out now.
Perhaps later on you could make up your own jig dances to that music, just like Jiggy Pig and her friends.
Have fun.
Join me again soon when we can listen and play together.
Bye!
Listen, listen, listen.
