To Market, To Market to buy a fat pig

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 cake;
Home again, home again, market is late.


To market, to market, to buy a plum bun;
Home again, home again, market is done.


To market, to market, a gallop a trot,
To buy some meat to put in the pot;


Three pence a quarter, a groat a side,
If it hadn't been killed it must have died

To Market, To Market

     "Vegetable Soup Song" (To the tune of "Row, Row, Row your Boat")
"Shell, shell, shell the peas,
Put them in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it, stir it,
I hope we made a lot!"

"Snap, snap, snap the beans,
Put them in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it, stir it,
I hope we made a lot!"

""Peel, peel, peel the apple,
Put them in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it, stir it,
I hope we made a lot!"

"Scrub, scrub, scrub the carrots,
Put them in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it, stir it,
I hope we made a lot!"
