lyrics

LITTLE RED HEN

One day as the Little Red Hen
Was scratching in the field
She found a grain of wheat

"This wheat must be planted,"
She said "who will help?"
"Not I," said the Duck
"I'm doing something else.
I've got a job..." said the Duck to the Hen
"and it takes all my time you should get one my friend."

"Then I will do it myself!"

Said the Little Red Hen
And she did so the wheat
Grew yellow and tall

"This wheat must be cut
Who will cut it with me?"
"Not I," said the Cat
"O, I'm very busy
It's my friend's birthday and he's having a party
I've not seen him this year and I like to be friendly."

"Then I will do it myself!"

Said the Little Red Hen
But when the wheat was cut
It needed threshing

So the Hen asked the Dog
If he'd help thresh the wheat
For the Dog was the sweetest friend
She's ever meet
He said "I'd help you my friend but I'm helping another
So I'd have to say it's a 'Not I' from your brother"

"Then I will do it myself!"

Said the Little Red Hen
And when the wheat was threshed
She took it to The Mill
And at The Mill
She turned it into flour
Then she took that flour
And she made bread

And that load of bread
Looked so very tasty
That the Hen she called out:
"Who will eat this with me?"
And the Duck, Cat and Dog said they'd each have a piece
But they were no help when the Hen needed them

So she ate it herself

Because she's the Little Red Hen
And none of you cluckers
Are gonna eat her bread
