Piggy Bank Song

1. Ooh! That was LOUD.
2. That's because he's empty. Empty pigs are noisy.
3. Listen again as he fills up. He'll get quieter.
4. One little coin going clink down deep,
5. Two little coins that are yours to keep,
6. Three little coins in a shiny little stack,
7. Four little coins and there's no going back!
8. Clink! goes the coin in the piggy bank!
9. Count 'em as they fall and give the pig a little thank!
10. One at a time is how a big thing grows,
11. Clink, clink, clink — and away it goes!
12. Five little coins and the pig's getting full,
13. Six little coins with a rattle and a pull,
14. Seven, eight, and the sound starts to change —
15. Nine, ten — doesn't that sound strange?
16. Clink! goes the coin in the piggy bank!
17. Ten little coins in the ceramic little tank!
18. Slower than you'd like it, quieter than before,
19. Clink, clink, clink — and there's room for more!
20. Let's count them out. One coin at a time, into my hand.
21. (clink) ADA: One.
22. (clink) ADA: Two.
23. Can we just tip them ALL out and count them fast?
24. We can tip them out — but we still count them one at a time.
25. Fast counting misses coins. And a missed coin is a lost coin.
26. Slow counting keeps everything.
27. Not today, and not this week,
28. The thing you want is the thing you seek.
29. Every single coin is a step on the stair,
30. Ten more steps and you're nearly there!
31. How many? CHOIR: clink!
32. How many? CHOIR: clink!
33. Is it enough yet? CHOIR: NOT YET!
34. (groaning) Ohhhh.
35. I want to open it NOW.
36. I know. Waiting is genuinely hard. It's not just you.
37. How long?
38. Until the clink goes quiet. That's how you'll know he's full.
39. …There. Did you hear that? That was the sound of full.
40. Everybody up! You're a piggy bank! Stand up tall and round!
41. Coin in! Clink! Wobble! Coin in! Clink! Wobble!
42. Ten coins — count 'em as you wobble!
43. Now SHAKE! Rattle rattle rattle! How full are you?
44. Now stand very still. Full piggy banks don't rattle at all.
45. Three coins in the pig. You put in two more. How many?
46. ADA: Five. You added them on.
47. Five coins. You spend one. How many left?
48. ADA: Four.
49. Four coins, and four more coins. How many?
50. ADA: Eight. Two fours make eight — that's a doubling, and doubling is powerful.
51. Clink! goes the coin — now count 'em on the floor!
52. Every single one you saved and quite a few more!
53. One at a time is how the big thing grew,
54. Clink, clink, clink — and it all belongs to you!
55. Stack them in tens. It's easier to count that way.
56. Ten… twenty… thirty… and one left over.
57. Keep that last one. Put it back in the pig. Start again.
58. (dropping it — one hollow clink) And that's the first coin of tomorrow.
59. (counting it) One. littleactivity.com.
