Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house   A little Red Ridinghood was scared as the mouse   And just like her I'm scared through and through   Some two legged wolf would run away with you      So run 'em off, no use to talk all day   Run 'em off, they're tryin' to get you to play   Run 'em off and make 'em let us be   If you don't run 'em off, I swear you're cheatin' on me      Now there's an iceman and milkman and folks out of town   They don't 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   If you don't run 'em off, I swear you're cheatin' on me      No matter where you are or what you do   Folks start to whistle and how is you   When they get too close I wanna say, "Shoo"   'Cause it looks like they wanna take what bother you      So run 'em off, don't talk too long   Run 'em off, they are tryin' to get you in Dutch   Run 'em off and make 'em let us be   If you don't run 'em, off I swear you're cheatin' on me      Now once I ended this song but I write so more   'Cause there's a half-a-dozen wolfs comin' up to my door   And I can tell by a lookin' 'cause it's plain to see   That they're not here to make eyes at 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   If you don't run 'em off, I swear you're cheatin' on me
