Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf

Story teller: This is the story of a girl and a Wolf

Chorus: Good girl, good little girl

Bad Wolf, big bad Wolf

Good little, good little

Good little girl

Big bad Wolf

Story teller: As soon as Wolf began to feel

That he would like a decent meal

He went and knocked on Grandma’s door

When Grandma opened it she saw

The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,

And Wolfie said:

Wolf: May I come in!

Story teller: This is the story of a good little girl

Chorus: Good little, good little, good little girl

Story teller: This is the story of a good little girl

Who listened to her mother

Most of the time

Chorus: Good girl, good little girl

She listened to her mother

Most of the time

Story teller: Poor Grandmamma was terrified.

Grandma: He’s going to eat me up, she cried (chorus)

Story teller: And she was absolutely right.

He ate her up in one big bite

But Grandmamma was small and tough,

And Wolfie wailed:

Wolfie: That’s not enough

I haven’t yet begun to feel

That I have had a decent meal

Story teller: He ran around the kitchen yelping

Wolf: I’ve got to have another helping.

Story teller: Then added with a frightful leer

Wolf: I’m therefore going to wait right here

Till little Miss Red Riding Hood

Comes home from walking in the wood.

Story teller: This is the story of a girl and a Wolf

And they call her Little Red Riding Hood

Chorus: Little Red, Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red, Little Red Riding Hood

How did she ever get a name like that?

Story teller: Like what?

Chorus: Like Little Red Riding Hood

How did she ever get a name like that?

Story teller: She always wore a Hood on her head

A little red riding hood

Her granny made it for her

And she wore it all the time

Little Red Riding Hood was a good little girl

Most of the time

He quickly put on Grandma’s clothes,

(Of course he hadn’t eaten those).

He dressed himself in coat and hat,

He put on shoes and after that

He even brushed and curled his hair,

Then sat himself in Grandma’s chair.

Chorus: Good girl, good little girl

Bad Wolf, big bad Wolf

Good little, good little

Good little girl

Big bad Wolf

Story teller: In came the little girl in red

Chorus: Little Red, Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red, Little Red Riding Hood

Story teller: She stopped. She started. And then she said.

Good girl: What great big ears you have, Grandma!

Wolf: All the better to hear you with.

Good girl: What great big eyes you have, Grandma!

Wolf: All the better to see you with.

Story teller: He sat there watching her and smiled,

He thought

Wolf: I’m going to eat this child.

Compared with her old Grandma

She’s going to taste like caviar.

Chorus: Little Red, Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red, Little Red Riding Hood

Good girl, good little girl

She listened to her mother

Most of the time

Story teller: When mama said ‘go’ she went

Chorus: Great!

Story teller: when mama said ‘stay’ she stayed

Chorus: Great!

Story teller: When mama said ‘sit’ she sat

Chorus: Great!

Story teller: When mama said ‘play’ she spayed

Chorus: Great!

Good girl, good little girl

She listened to her mother

Most of the time

Story teller: Then Little Red Riding Hood said:

Good girl: But Grandma, what a lovely great big furry coat you have on.

Wolf: That’s wrong! Have you forgotten

To tell me what Big Teeth I’ve got?

Ah, well, no matter what you say.

I’m going to eat you anyway

Chorus: Good girl, good little girl

Bad Wolf, big bad Wolf

Good little, good little

Good little girl

Big bad Wolf

Story teller: The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers,

She whips a pistol from her knickers,

She aims it at the creature’s head

And Bang! Bang! Bang! –

She shoots him dead.

Chorus: Good girl, good little girl

She listened to her mother

Most of the time

Little Red, Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red, Little Red Riding Hood

Story teller: A few weeks later, in the wood, I came across Miss Riding Hood,

But what a change! No cloak of red.

No silly hood upon her head

She said:

Good Girl: Hello! And do please note

My lovely furry Wolfskin Coat!

Story teller: That’s the story of a girl and a Wolf

What a lovely story

Of a girl and a Wolf

Little Red Riding Hood

Was a good little girl

Chorus: Good girl, good little girl

She listened to her mother

Most of the time

Story teller: When mama said ‘go’ she went

Chorus: Great!

Story teller: When mama said ‘stay’ she stayed

Chorus: Great!

Story teller: When mama said ‘sit’ she sat

Chorus: Great!

Story teller: When mama said ‘play’ she played

Chorus: Great!

Story teller: Little Red Riding Hood was a good little girl

Chorus: Really?

Was she good?

Story teller: Yes, she was

Chorus: Was she very good?

Story teller: Yes, she was

Chorus: Did she listen to her mother?

Story teller: Yes, she did.

Chorus: All the time?

Most of the time

Story teller: Little Red Riding Hood was a good little girl

Chorus: Really she was

Most of the time

Most of the time

Most of the time.
