The classic trip to market and jiggety-jig home again, buying a fat pig, a fat hog, then a plum bun. Repetition and a bouncing rhythm make it a natural for a knee-ride.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
To market, to market, to buy a fat pig.
Home again, home again, jiggety jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fat hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety jog.
To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,
Home again, home again, market is done.
