THE LITTLE YELLOW DIGGER

The Little Yellow Digger
By Jennifer McCormack, based on the story by Betty and Alan Gilderdale
(to the tune of  “A Foolish Man built his house upon the sand”)

There was a little digger, a little yellow digger
There was a little digger, a little yellow digger
There was a little digger, a little yellow digger
Working hard to dig a hole

The rain came down and the digger got stuck
The rain came down and the digger got stuck
The rain came down and the digger got stuck
Got stuck in the mud and the muck!

So a bigger digger came to help the yellow digger
So a bigger digger came to help the yellow digger
So a bigger digger came to help the yellow digger
That was stuck in the mud and the muck!

It pulled and it pulled and its wheels spun around
It pulled and it pulled and its wheels spun around
It pulled and it pulled and its wheels spun around
And it got stuck in the mud and the muck!

And so along to help came another bigger digger
And so along to help came another bigger digger
And so along to help came another bigger digger
To pull the two diggers from the muck!

It pulled and it pulled and its wheels spun around
It pulled and it pulled and its wheels spun around
It pulled and it pulled and its wheels spun around
And it got stuck in the mud and the muck!

SPOKEN
The rain went away and the sun shone bright
The people came to help the three diggers stuck tight!
The ground dried up and they brought in a truck
To pull out the little yellow digger that was stuck!

The people dug and the truck pulled and pulled
The people dug and the truck pulled and pulled
The people dug and the truck pulled and pulled
And the little yellow digger came free!

And the little yellow digger dug out the bigger diggers
And the little yellow digger dug out the bigger diggers
And the little yellow digger dug out the bigger diggers
Free from the mud and the muck!

(Repeat 1st Verse to finish)
