Little Red Riding Hood, Reprise

Little Red Riding Hood, Reprise

little red riding hood, what do you know
been in the forest since so long ago
been with the wolf since you were just a child
and all of that nonsense has driven you wild

little red riding hood, put on a dress
cause darling, oh darling, we have to confess
you look like a savage, you look like a witch
and going out like that, it would be quite rich

little red riding hood, we know it’s been rough
you are but a girl, and even if tough
a girl shouldn’t do that, a girl shouldn’t live
with a wolf who has only dead things to give

little red riding hood, think of that poor
old woman who raised you, cause we’ve been assured
the wolf ate her up, bones, blood and all
you must hate him for this, as well you shall

little red riding hood, what is that smile
how can you laugh at a story so vile?
why are you grinning and what is that thing
you hold in your hand there, what did you bring?

little red riding hood, put down the knife
we mean you no harm and you must spare our life
little red riding hood, we know you are good
surely you do not mean to spill blood

little red riding hood, what did you bring me?
a couple of humans, still warm and still bleeding
little red riding hood, you’ve been a good girl
now come, rest your head on an old wolf’s fur
