Red Rapping Hood

LYRICS DOWN BELOW Once upon a time, long long ago when beasts could talk like us you know

A little girl named Red Rapping Hood went to her Grandma's through the woods.

She went to take some butter and cake and a bouquet of flowers she'd stopped to make.

A great big wolf lay under a tree. "Good morning, Red Riding Hood!" he said with glee

"Good morning, Sir," said the brave little maid although she was just a little afraid.

"And where are you going, my little Red Rapping Hood?" "I'm going to Grandmama's through the woods.

Poor Granny is ill and I'm going to take this basket of flowers and butter and cake."

"I hope she gets better very soon," said the very queer wolf that was a loon

the wolf ran off as fast as he could to reach Granny's house before Red Rapping Hood could.

He knocked on the door and lifted the latch. Walked in slowly, hoping Granny to catch.

But Granny, though old, was smart in the head. She saw it was the wolf and slid under the bed.

Wolf was not happy to find Granny not around but he slipped on her nightcap and blue "Granny" gown.

He jumped into her bed and snuggled right down DOWN ... DOWN ... DOWN ... DOWN.

He pulled the covers up over his nose and layback slightly in a kind of weird a doze.

Then he heard footsteps and opened one eye and, licking his lips, he awaited the cry:

"Oh Grandma, It's me" your little Red Hood. I've come to visit you through the woods."

"Come in," said the wolf, he said with a squeak. I'm sorry. I'm sick I hardly can speak."

In came Red Riding Hood, with her basket and all. Looked at the wolf and thought, Granny got tall.

"Perhaps I should ask her what's wrong with her ear?" "Oh that!" said Granny, "The better to hear."

"But look at your arms - like a big hairy rug." "Oh, that!" said Granny. "The better to hug."

The little girl lifted the covers beneath -and then she saw those terrible teeth.

What sickness is this? She thought in alarm. But remembering her mother said, "Always stay calm."

She said very gently, "Do your teeth cause you pain?" "Oh no," said Granny "except when it rains.

They're big and they're strong. They can bite through a bone.
You really should not have come here alone."

He sprang out of bed with a terrible growl.
And Red Rapping Hood cried, "Wolf! Wolf! Ow Wow!"

She pulled and pulled till she pulled him down and his feet all tangled in Granny's blue gown.

A woodcutter came in and chopped off Wolf's head and Granny crept out from under the bed.
