Owoooooooo!
Expressing a wolf-like howl, setting a mysterious tone.
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Raising a question about someone walking in the woods.
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood
Identifying the person as Little Red Riding Hood.
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
Greeting Little Red Riding Hood.
You sure are looking good
Complimenting her appearance.
You're everything a big bad wolf could want
Suggesting she has qualities a wolf desires.
Listen to me
Asserting the speaker's authority.
Little Red Riding Hood
Reiterating the address to Little Red Riding Hood.
I don't think little big girls should
Expressing concern about young girls in spooky woods.
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone
Advising against walking alone in the woods.
Owoooooooo!
Repeating the wolf-like howl for dramatic effect.
What big eyes you have
Complimenting the size of Little Red Riding Hood's eyes.
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
Suggesting the eyes could attract wolves.
So just to see that you don't get chased
Proposing to accompany her to avoid danger.
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways
Offering protection while walking together.
What full lips you have
Complimenting the fullness of her lips.
They're sure to lure someone bad
Implying that her lips could attract trouble.
So until you get to grandma's place
Suggesting she walks with the speaker until reaching grandma's place.
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe
Reiterating the need for safety during the journey.
I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Expressing the speaker's cautious approach.
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
Insisting on maintaining a disguise until trust is established.
That I can be trusted walking with you alone
Emphasizing the speaker's intention to prove trustworthiness.
Owoooooooo!
Repeating the wolf-like howl for emphasis.
Little Red Riding Hood
Addressing Little Red Riding Hood again.
I'd like to hold you if I could
Expressing a desire for physical closeness.
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't
Acknowledging the fear of being perceived as a threat.
Owoooooooo!
Repeating the wolf-like howl for continuity.
What a big heart I have
Highlighting the size of the speaker's heart.
The better to love you with
Emphasizing the capacity for love.
Little Red Riding Hood
Addressing Little Red Riding Hood again.
Even bad wolves can be good
Suggesting that even wolves can have positive qualities.
I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side
Expressing a willingness to be content with proximity.
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place
Hoping for a change in perspective before reaching grandma's place.

Owooooooo I mean baaaaaa!
