Hello, Little Girl
[WOLF, spoken]
Good day, young lady

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, spoken]
Good day, Mr. Wolf

[WOLF, spoken]
[?] away so hurriedly?

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, spoken]
To my grandmother's

[WOLF, spoken]
And where might your grandmother live?

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, spoken]
Her house stands under the three large oak trees

[WOLF]
Mmmh...Unhh...
Look at that flesh, pink and plump
Hello, little girl...
Tender and fresh, not one lump
Hello, little girl...
This one's especially lush
Delicious...
Hello, little girl, what's your rush?
You're missing all the flowers
The sun won't set for hours
Take your time
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother said, "Straight ahead,"
Not to delay or be misled

[WOLF]
But slow, little girl, hark and hush-
The birds are singing sweetly
You'll miss the birds complеtely
You're traveling so fleetly
Grandmothеr first, then Miss Plump
What a delectable couple
Utter perfection, one brittle, one supple-
One moment, my dear-

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother said, "Come what may
Follow the path and never stray"

[WOLF]
Just so, little girl- any path
So many worth exploring
Just one would be so boring
And look what you're ignoring

Ah, oh
[WOLF 2]
Delicate meat

[WOLF 2]
Crispy bones

[WOLF 1]
Pink is a treat for the palate
All of this scrumptious carnality

[BOTH WOLVES]
Ah what a day

[WOLF 2]
There's no possible way

[WOLF 1]
To describe what you feel

[BOTH WOLVES]
When you're talking to your meal

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother said not to stray
Still, I suppose, a small delay
Granny might like a fresh bouquet
(spoken)
Goodbye, Mr. Wolf

[WOLF 1, spoken]
Goodbye, little girl

[WOLF 2, spoken]
Goodbye little piggy

[BOTH WOLVES]
And hello
*howls*
