To market, to buy a fat pig

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To market, to buy a fat pig is a nursery rhyme ^[1]

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,

Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.

To market, to market, to buy a fat hog,

Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,

Home again, home again, market is done.

There have been many variations such as this reworking ^[2]:

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig!

Home with it! home with it! jiggety jig!

Stuff it till Christmas and make a fat hog,

Then at Smithfield Show win a prize, jiggety jog!
