P is for Penelope
(Lyrics by Teddy Slater, from book “ABC Sing-Along,” sing to the tune of “Do You Know the Muffin Man”)
P is for Penelope,
Penelope, Penelope.
P is for Penelope,
a proud and pretty pig.
Penelope is pink and plump,
pink and plump, pink and plump.
Penelope is pink and plump,
a truly perfect peg.
The original lyrics, here:
Do You Know the Muffin Man
Traditional Words and Tune
Oh, do you know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Oh, do you know the muffin man,
Who lives in Drury Lane?
Oh, yes, I know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Oh, yes, I know the muffin man,
Who lives in Drury Lane.
Alternate verses:
Oh, two of us know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Oh, two of us know the muffin man,
Who lives in Drury Lane.
A few of us know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
A few of us know the muffin man,
Who lives in Drury Lane.
Now we all know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Now we all know the muffin man,
Who lives in Drury Lane.
