♫THE HEN WENT TO THE MARKET - Lyrics!

The hen went to the market. She soiled her leg and stopped at a bush.

Come on, bush, clean this leg!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you, little bush - I’ll bring upon you a goat, and the goat shall graze on you.

Come on, goat, graze this bush!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you little goat, - I’ll bring upon you a wolf, and the wolf will eat you.

Come on wolf, eat this goat!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you little wolf - I’ll bring upon you a village, and the village will beat you.

Come on village, beat this wolf!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you little village - I’ll bring upon you fire, and the fire will burn you.

Come on fire, burn this village!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you, little fire - I’ll bring upon you water, and the water will put you out.

Come on water, put out this fire!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you, little water - I’ll bring upon you a horse, and the horse will drink you.

Come on horse, drink this water!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you, little horse - I’ll bring upon you a saddle, and the saddle will scratch you.

Come on saddle -scratch this horse!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you, little saddle - I’ll bring upon you a mouse, and the mouse will bite you!

Come on, mouse - bite this saddle!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you little mouse - I’ll bring upon you a cat, and the cat will hunt you!

Come on, cat - hunt this mouse!
No, I won’t, no, I won’t, no I won’t!

Watch out, you, little cat - I’ll bring upon you a dog, and the dog will chase you!

Come on, dog - chase this cat!
I will, I will, oh yes, I will!

The dog starts chasing the cat.
The cat starts hunting the mouse.
The mouse starts biting the saddle.
The saddle starts scratching the horse.
The horse starts drinking the water.
The water starts putting out the fire.
The fire starts burning the village.
The village starts beating the wolf.
The wolf starts eating the goat.
The goat starts grazing the bush.
The bush starts cleaning the leg.

And I, off I go to the market...♫
