Run 'Em Off

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

A little Red Ridinghood was scared as the mouse

And just like her I'm scared through and through

Some two legged wolf would run away with you.

So run 'em off no use to talk all day

Just run 'em off they're tryin' to get you to play

Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheatin' on me.

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

They don't 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

If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheatin' on me.

No matter where you are or what you do

Folks start to whistle and how is you

When they get too close I wanna say shoo

Cause it looks like they wanna take what bother you.

So run 'em off, don't talk too long

You're gonna get in Dutch

Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheatin' on me.

Now once I ended this song but I write so more

Cause there's a half-a-dozen wolfs comin' up to my door

And I can tell by a lookin' cause it's plain to see

That they're not here to make eyes at me.

So run 'em off don't talk too long

You're gonna get in Dutch

Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheatin' on me...
