Hey, hey
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Hey, you, sittin' in your tree
Mummy always wants you to come for tea
Don't be shy, straighten up your tie
I wanna know just what to do
Is it very big, is there room for two?
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey
Let the fun begin, hey
I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey
I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll huff, I'll puff and blow you away
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me c'est la vie
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me c'est la vie
Do you play with the girls, play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys?
We can talk, we can sing
I'll be the queen and you'll be the king
Hey, boy, in your tree
Thrown down your ladder, make a room for me
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey
Let the fun begin, hey
I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll huff, I'll puff and blow you away
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me c'est la vie
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me c'est la vie
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me c'est la vie
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me c'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie

Unless you were a teenager when this song came out, you have absolutely no idea how much of a bop this was in high school. Absolute classic.
