Features easy to follow modulation, a good teaching point for singing.

Lyrics Sample

Little Red Hen she mixed the flour,

Mixed the flour, mixed the flour.

Little Red Hen, she mixed the flour.

Are you getting hungry?

Little Red Hen, she kneads the dough

Kneads the dough, kneads the dough

Little Red Hen, she kneads the dough

Are you getting hungry?

Little Red Hen, she watched it rise

Watched it rise, watched it rise

Little Red Hen, she watched it rise

Are you getting hungry?
