SAM THE SHAM AND THE PHAROAHS- "LIL' RED RIDING HOOD" (LYRICS)

WENT TO #2 IN 1966. LYRICS: Owoooooooo
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything a big bad wolf could want
Listen to me

Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone
Owoooooooo

What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways

What full lips you have
They're sure to lure someone bad
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone
Owoooooooo

Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't
Owoooooooo!

What a big heart I have-the better to love you with
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good
I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place
Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want
Owoooooooo
I mean baaaaaa
Baaa Baaa

I loved this song when it was played on the radio near the end of my 8th grade school year, and I still consider it to be a "guilty pleasure". I always thought that "Wooly Bully" was a bigger hit than this one, but many years later, I learned that both of them reached a peak of #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Wooly Bully" was easier to dance to, which was very important in junior high school, but I liked this one more.
