Who's afraid of the big bad wolf,
Big bad wolf, big bad wolf?
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
Fa-la-la-la-la!

Long ago there were three pigs,
Little handsome piggy wigs;
For the big bad, very bad, very big wolf
They didn't give three figs!

Number one was very gay
And he built his house with hay.
With a "hey-hey-toot!"
He blew on his flute
And he played around all day.

Number two was fond of jigs
And so he built his house with twigs.
"Hey-diddle-diddle!"
He played on his fiddle
And danced with lady pigs.

Number three said, "Nix on tricks!
I will build my house with bricks!".
He had no chance
To sing and dance,
'Cause work and play don't mix!

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf,
Big bad wolf, big bad wolf?
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
La-la-la-la-la!

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
