That pig makes her dance

If you press the nose on the pig once, it says "Oink." If you press it a second time, it sneezes and then says "Excuse Me!" If you press it a third time, the song begins.

Emily loves the song part, because you can dance to the music. So smarty-pants merrily pushes the red snout through its electronic cycle, starts up the song, then runs to an open space on the living room floor and dances and dances. Again. And again.

We know the words to the song by heart now. The words run through our heads. The tune won't go away either. But we really don't mind. It is, after all, a happy sound.
Oops. Here it goes again: Oink, Sneeze, Excuse me!

Oh, oh, I'm a piggy bank with some coins big and small,
And lots of colors you can learn them all,
We’ve got red and yellow, we’ve got orange and blue,
What’s your favorite colors, there’s some green ones too
Let’s count the coins, from one to ten
When we’re all done, we’ll count again.
1,2,3,4,5 6, 7

8,9,Ten!

Oink.
Sneeze, Excuse me.

Haven't had enough?
There's more:

Oink, Sneeze, Excuse me!
