G D7
Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house
G D7
Little Red Ridinghood was scared as the mouse
G C
And just like her I'm scared through and through
G D7 G
Some two legged wolf would run away with you
 
D7
So run 'em off no use to talk all day
G D7
Just run 'em off they're trying to get you to play
G C
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be
G D7 G
If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheating on me
 
D7
Now there's an iceman and milkman and folks out of town
G D7
They don't come to visit they just hang around
G C
They act just as friendly as can be
G D7 G
But I don't think they care a thing about me
 
D7
So run 'em off don't talk too long
G D7
Run ‘em off so we can be alone
G C
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be
G D7 G
If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheating on me
 
D7
No matter where you are or what you do
G D7
Folks start to whistle and how is you
G C
When they get too close I wanna say shoo
G D7 G
Cause it looks like they wanna take a bite of you
 
D7
So run 'em off don't talk too long
G D7
Run ‘em off they’re trying to get you in Dutch
G C
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be
G D7 G
If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheating on me
 
D7
Now once I ended this song but I write some more
G D7
Cause there's a half-a-dozen wolfs coming up to my door
G C
And I can tell by a looking cause it's plain to see
G D7 G
That they're not here to make eyes at me
 
D7
So run 'em off don't talk too long
G D7
Run ‘em off so we can be alone
G C
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be
G D7 G
If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheating on me
