Hello, Little Girl

[WOLF]

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, Mmmh

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 completely

You're traveling so fleetly

Grandmother 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

Think of those crisp, aging bones

Then something fresh on the palate

Think of that scrumptious carnality twice in one day!

There's no possible way

To describe what you feel

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, spoken]

Goodbye, little girl

(sung)

And hello
