Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house And Little Red Riding Hood was scared as a mouse Well, just like her I'm scared through and through That some two-legged wolf'll run away with you So run 'em off No use to talkin all day Run 'em off Their tryin' to get you to play Run 'em off A make 'em let us be Now if you don't run 'em off I'll swear your cheatin' on me Now there's an iceman, a milkman, and folks out of town They come to visit they just hang around They act just as friendly as can be But I don't think they care a thing about me So run 'em off Don't talk too long Run 'em off So we can be alone Run 'em off And make 'em let us be Now if you don't run 'em off I'll swear your cheatin' on me Now once I ended this song but I can write some more There's half a dozen wolves a-comin' up to my door I can tell by lookin' it's plain to see They're not here, darlin', makin' lies at me So run 'em off Don't want 'em around Run 'em off You'll be the talk of the town Run 'em off And make 'em let us be Well if you don't run 'em off I'll swear your cheatin' on me
