Song Lyrics:  The Billy Goats Gruff

The grass is greener on the other bank,
Said the Billy Goats Gruff to each other
We’ll cross over this wooden bridge,
And have our selves a mighty fine supper

The first of the three, the smallest was he,
Started to the other ridge
Little did he know, a very hungry troll
Was hiding under the bridge

And the little one went
Trip trap, trip trap, trip trap, trip trap

“Whoa who’s tripping over my bridge?
I’m going to eat you up”

“Don’t eat me Mr. Troll.
I’m scrawny and small,
I won’t satisfy your appetite at all.
Wait for my brother he’s bigger than me
The troll said, “Pass on by, I’ll wait and see”

Then the middle one went
Trip trap, trip trap, trip trap, trip trap

Whoa who’s tripping over my bridge?
I’m going to eat you up”

Then the middle one said
“Don’t eat me Mr. Troll.
I’m scrawny and small,
I won’t satisfy your appetite at all.
Wait for my brother he’s bigger than me”

Then the troll thought a minute and said,
“Pass on by, I’ll wait and see”

Then came the biggest Billy Goats Gruff
Trip trap, trip trap, trip trap trip trap

“Whoa who’s tripping over my bridge
I’m going to eat you up”

He said,
“It’s me the biggest Billy Goat Gruff,”
“Come on up
If you think you can eat me up”
The troll climbed up the bridge.

Then the biggest Billy Goat Gruff
As sure as you’re born
Lowered his head and took his horns
And knocked the troll in the water
Splash!
