Anyone remember all the words to this little poem? I know there's a different little saying for each toe but I can't remember how it went.
One goes to the market and town, I think. thats all I can remember

Out of curiosity, I went and googled it. I was able to find the information...
This little piggy: lyrics
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went...
"Wee wee wee" all the way home...
Action nursery rhyme for baby or young children
The lyrics for this particular nursery rhyme include action based words where the little piggy is each one of the child's toes! The last line is used to accompany the child being tickled by the teller of the rhyme! This is a typical rhyme which will be passed down from one generation to another - it has no origins in history! The lyrics for this nursery rhyme were first published in 1728.

Actually, I found a site that had the words to many nursery rhymes. I thought this might be of interest to everyone here so I'm sharing the link...

We had fun with the nursery rhymes. We would personalize them to the kid. Like with Little Jack Horner:
Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner
Eating a Christmas Pie.
He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum
and said, "What a good boy am I".
We would substitute Jack Horner for one of the kids name, substitute the pie part for whatever the current favorite food was for that kid, substitute the thumb for another finger (not what you're thinking....the name of another finger), it taught them the names of the fingers on their hands. It gave them a laugh and we had fun doing it.

Now that site's cool. I had forgotten a lot of those nursery rhymes.

I remember all of the nursery rhymes, but I don't remember how they went.
What a great site. All mom's and mom's to be need to bookmark that one for later reference. Nursery rhymes are just so cute, but I don't think they're used as much as they used to be.

My sister-in-law made a variation to "Yellow Submarine" for her granddaughter, I can't remember how it went though.
