Wikipedia has an article about this song:


WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF?
Words and music by Frank Churchill with additional lyrics by Ann Ronell, ©1933.
As recorded by Harry Reser and his Eskimos with vocal by Loretta Clemens, 1933.

One little, two little, three little pigs.
(And one bad wolf.)
That's all!

VERSE 1: Long ago there were three pigs,
Little handsome piggy-wigs.
For the big bad, very big, very bad wolf
They didn't give three figs.

Number One was very gay,
And he built his house with hay.
With a hey-hey-toot he blew on his flute,
And he played around all day.

Number Two was fond of jigs,
And so he built his house with twigs.
Hey-diddle-diddle! He played on his fiddle
And danced with a lady pig.

Number Three said: "Nix on tricks!
I will build my house with bricks."
He had no chance to sing and dance,
'Cause work and play don't mix.

(Ah-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha!)

CHORUS: Who's afraid of the big bad wolf,
The big bad wolf? Not me!
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha!

VERSE 2: Came the day when fate did frown,
And the wolf blew into town.
With a "puff-puff-puff" he puffed just enough
And the hay house fell right down.

One and Two were scared to death
Of the big bad wolfie's breath.
"By the hair of your chinny-chin, I'll blow you in"
And the twig house answered yes.

No one left but number Three
To save the piglet family.
When they knocked, he fast unlocked
And said: "Come in with me!"

Now they all were safe inside
And the bricks hurt wolfie's pride,
So, he slid down the chimney, and, oh, by Jimney
In the fire he was fried.

(Ah-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha!)

CHORUS: Ah, who's afraid of the big bad wolf,
The big bad wolf? Not me!
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha!

What bad wolf?
