Little Red Hen went out one morn and found a little grain of corn
“Who’s gonna help me plant this seed?”
she asked her friends Pig, Dog & Sheep

“Who will help me dig the row and turn the soil up with a hoe?”
“Not I,” said Sheep. “Not I,” said Pig. Dog said, “I’ve got bones to dig.”

Ha, ha, ha, come & play -- Little Red Hen needs help today
Ha, ha, ha, you and me -- Little Red Hen’s a friend in need

“Who will help me water the seed and dig up all these nasty weeds?”
“Not I,” said Pig. “Not I,” said Dog. Sheep said, “Go ask Mr. Frog.”

“Who will help me pick the crop and tear the husks off from the cobs?”
“Not I,” said Sheep. “Not I,” said Dog. Pig was busy sawing logs

“Who will help me grind it up and mix it with some eggs and milk?”
“Not I,” said Dog. “Not I” said Sheep.
Pig didn’t answer, he was still asleep

“Muffins are ready who wants to eat?”
They all came running, “Me!” “Me!” “Me!”
Little Red Hen asked,
“Why should I share? When I needed help you weren’t there.”

Pig, Dog, Sheep began to cry and said, “We want to apologize!
You worked so hard we didn’t see
- that a friend in need is a friend indeed.”

Little Red Hen began to sing, “Forgiveness is a noble thing”
So she gave each friend their own corncake
and hoped they learned from their mistake
