Li’l Red Riding Hood Lyrics

[Intro]
Who's that I see walkin' through these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Ridin' Hood

[Verse 1]
Hey there, Little Red Ridin' Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're ev'rything a big bad wolf could want

Listen to me!

[Verse 2]
Little Red Ridin' Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walkin' through these spooky old woods alone

[Chorus]
What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
Little Red Ridin' Hood
Even bad wolves can be good
I'll try to be satisfied
Just to walk close by your side
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a way
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna put my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walkin' with you alone

Awoo!

[Verse 4]
Little Red Ridin' Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm the big bad wolf so I won't

[Chorus]
What a big heart I have
The better to love you with
Little Red Ridin' Hood
Even bad wolves can be good
I'll try to be satisfied
Just to walk close by your side
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a way

[Verse 5]
Little Red Ridin' Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything a big bad wolf could want
[Outro]
I mean baa
Baa
Baa

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
