Little Red Riding Hood

Please, don’t stop in the woods

Little Red Riding Hood

Don’t be late and be good.

 

Now go to granny’s house

She’s not well in her bed

But the hungry wolf

Can eat her and you, too.

 

And the wolf is so bad

He eats granny and the girl

But the hunter comes

And they’re safe in the end.

 

So the story goes

Little Red Riding Hood

So the story goes

Little Red Riding Hood.
