Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house

And Little Red Riding Hood was scared as a mouse

Well, just like her I'm scared through and through

That some two-legged wolf'll run away with you



So run 'em off

No use to talkin all day

Run 'em off

Their tryin' to get you to play

Run 'em off

A make 'em let us be

Now if you don't run 'em off

I'll swear your cheatin' on me



Now there's an iceman, a milkman, and folks out of town

They come to visit they just hang around

They act just as friendly as can be

But I don't think they care a thing about me



So run 'em off

Don't talk too long

Run 'em off

So we can be alone

Run 'em off

And make 'em let us be

Now if you don't run 'em off

I'll swear your cheatin' on me



Now once I ended this song but I can write some more

There's half a dozen wolves a-comin' up to my door 

I can tell by lookin' it's plain to see

They're not here, darlin', makin' lies at me



So run 'em off

Don't want 'em around

Run 'em off

You'll be the talk of the town

Run 'em off

And make 'em let us be

Well if you don't run 'em off

I'll swear your cheatin' on me
