Squishy, squashy, felt so good!

Three Pigs So Squeaky Clean 
Three pigs so squeaky clean 
Cleanest you’ve ever seen 
Wanted to go outside and play 
Oink! Oink! 
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a great big THUD 
Then there were two clean squeaky pigs.

Do Your Ears Hang Low? 
Do your ears hang low? 
Do they wobble to and fro? 
Can you tie them in a knot? 
Can you tie them in a bow? 
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a Continental soldier? 
Do your ears hang low?
--Traditional 

Oliver Twist 
Oliver Twist twist twist 
Can do this this this 
Touch his knees knees knees 
Touch his nose nose nose 
Touch his hair hair hair 
Touch his toes toes toes 
Oliver Twist twist twist 
Can’t do this this this 
Touch his ears ears ears 
Touch his waist waist waist 
Touch his eyes eyes eyes 
Touch his face face face.
