[Verse 1]
Now when the big bad wolf got in Grandma's house
Little Red Riding Hood was scared as the mouse
And just like her, I'm scared through and through
Some two-legged wolf will run away with you
[Chorus]
So run 'em off, no use to talk all day
Run 'em off, they're trying to get you to play
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be
If you don't run 'em off, I'll swear you're cheating on me
[Verse 2]
Now there's an iceman, 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 *hmf* about me
[Chorus]
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'll swear you're cheating on me
[Verse 3]
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 a bite of you
[Chorus]
So run 'em off, don't talk too long
Run 'em off, they're trying to get you in dutch
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be
If you don't run them off, I'll swear you're cheating on me
[Verse 4]
Now once I ended this song, gonna write some more
Cause there's a half-a-dozen wolfs coming up to my door
And I can tell by looking 'cause it's plain to see
That they're not here to make eyes at me
[Chorus]
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 them off, I'll swear you're cheating on me
