Lyrics

[00:07.36] Now, when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house
[00:11.76] And Little Red Riding Hood was scared as a mouse
[00:15.49] And, just like her, I'm scared through and through
[00:19.28] That some two-legged wolf would run away with you
[00:23.11] So, run 'em off
[00:25.17] No use to talk all day
[00:26.97] Run 'em off
[00:28.82] They're trying to get you to play
[00:30.63] Run 'em off
[00:33.35] Make 'em let us be
[00:35.04] If you don't run 'em off I'll swear you're cheating on me
[00:42.05] Now there's an iceman, milkman, and folks out of town
[00:45.80] They don't come to visit, they just hang around
[00:49.71] They act just as friendly as can be
[00:53.24] But I don't think they care a thing about me
[00:57.12] So run 'em off
[00:59.57] Don't talk too long
[01:00.82] Run 'em off
[01:02.72] So we can be alone
[01:04.73] Run 'em off
[01:06.54] And make 'em let us be
[01:08.53] If you don't run 'em off I'll swear you're cheating on me
[01:50.43] No matter where you are or what you do
[01:54.75] Folks all a-whistle and howl at you
[01:58.43] When they get too close then I want to say, shoo
[02:01.55] 'Cause it looks like they want to take a bite of you
[02:06.09] So run 'em off
[02:08.24] Don't talk too much
[02:10.00] Run 'em off
[02:12.02] You're gonna get in dutch
[02:14.04] Run 'em off
[02:15.92] And make 'em let us be
[02:17.72] If you don't run 'em off I'll swear you're cheating on me
[02:25.16] Now once I ended this song but I'll write some more
[02:28.92] 'Cause there's a half a dozen wolfs coming up to my door
[02:33.05] I can tell by looking, 'cause it's plain to see
[02:37.05] That they're not here to make eyes at me
[02:40.29] Run 'em off (run 'em off)
[02:42.70] Don't want them hanging around
[02:44.20] Run 'em off (run 'em off)
[02:46.31] You'll be the talk of the town
[02:48.02] Run 'em off (run 'em off)
[02:50.01] And make 'em let us be
[02:52.10] If you don't run 'em off I'll swear you're cheating on me
[02:54.80]
