Little Red Riding Hood
Sham the Sham Lyrics

Owoooooooo!
The sound of a wolf howling in the woods

Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
The wolf spots Little Red Riding Hood and takes interest in her

Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood
The wolf identifies Little Red Riding Hood

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
The wolf greets Little Red Riding Hood

You sure are looking good
The wolf compliments Little Red Riding Hood's appearance

You're everything a big bad wolf could want
The wolf reveals his true intentions to prey on Little Red Riding Hood

Listen to me
The wolf wants Little Red Riding Hood to pay attention to him

Little Red Riding Hood
The wolf addresses Little Red Riding Hood

I don't think little big girls should
The wolf tries to scare Little Red Riding Hood from walking alone in the woods

Go walking in these spooky old woods alone
The wolf wants Little Red Riding Hood to be cautious of her surroundings

What big eyes you have
The wolf notices Little Red Riding Hood's eyes and comments on them in a way to intimidate her

The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
The wolf acknowledges his predatory instincts and that he is becoming attracted to Little Red Riding Hood

So just to see that you don't get chased
The wolf wants to accompany Little Red Riding Hood to prevent other predators from harming her

I think I ought to walk with you for a ways
The wolf proposes to walk along with Little Red Riding Hood

What full lips you have
The wolf comments on Little Red Riding Hood's lips in an attempt to flatter her

They're sure to lure someone bad
The wolf uses a suggestive tone to intimidate Little Red Riding Hood

So until you get to grandma's place
The wolf wants to accompany Little Red Riding Hood to ensure that she reaches her destination safely

I think you ought to walk with me and be safe
The wolf wants Little Red Riding Hood to think that he wants to protect her

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
The wolf is disguised as a sheep to fool Little Red Riding Hood

Until I'm sure that you've been shown
The wolf wants Little Red Riding Hood to believe that he is protecting her and can be trusted

That I can be trusted walking with you alone
The wolf wants Little Red Riding Hood to think that he is trustworthy and not a threat

Little Red Riding Hood
The wolf addresses Little Red Riding Hood

I'd like to hold you if I could
The wolf reveals his desire to physically harm Little Red Riding Hood

But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't
The wolf tries to trick Little Red Riding Hood into thinking he is harmless

What a big heart I have
The wolf tries to trick Little Red Riding Hood into thinking he has admirable traits

The better to love you with
The wolf tries to appear more loving and kind to Little Red Riding Hood

Even bad wolves can be good
The wolf tries to make an excuse for his predatory nature

I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side
The wolf tries to convince Little Red Riding Hood that he just wants to be her companion

Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place
The wolf hopes that Little Red Riding Hood will choose to follow his intentions and that he can avoid harming her

Owoooooooo!
The sound of a wolf howling in the woods

You sure are looking good
The wolf compliments Little Red Riding Hood's appearance and reiterates his intentions to prey on her

Owooooooo I mean baaaaaa!
The wolf shifts back to his sheep disguise

Baa?
The wolf attempts to regain Little Red Riding Hood's trust using his sheep disguise
