Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house   And Little Red Riding Hood was scared as a mouse   Well, just like her I'm scared through and through   That some two-legged wolf'll run away with you      So run 'em off   No use to talkin all day   Run 'em off   Their tryin' to get you to play   Run 'em off   A make 'em let us be   Now if you don't run 'em off   I'll swear your cheatin' on me      Now there's an iceman, a milkman, and folks out of town   They come to visit they just hang around   They act just as friendly as can be   But I don't think they care a thing about me      So run 'em off   Don't talk too long   Run 'em off   So we can be alone   Run 'em off   And make 'em let us be   Now if you don't run 'em off   I'll swear your cheatin' on me      Now once I ended this song but I can write some more   There's half a dozen wolves a-comin' up to my door    I can tell by lookin' it's plain to see   They're not here, darlin', makin' lies at me      So run 'em off   Don't want 'em around   Run 'em off   You'll be the talk of the town   Run 'em off   And make 'em let us be   Well if you don't run 'em off   I'll swear your cheatin' on me
