Chords

G                                          D7
Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house

G                                       D7
Little Red Ridinghood was scared as the mouse

    G                        C
And just like her I'm scared through and through

     G                         D7        G
Some two legged wolf would run away with you

                         D7
So run 'em off no use to talk all day

             G                                D7
Just run 'em off they're trying to get you to play

        G                C
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

       G                                D7          G
If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheating on me

                                                   D7
Now there's an iceman and milkman and folks out of town

     G                                  D7
They don't come to visit they just hang around

     G                    C
They act just as friendly as can be

    G                         D7          G
But I don't think they care a thing about me

                     D7
So run 'em off don't talk too long

        G                D7
Run ‘em off so we can be alone

        G                       C
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

   G                                    D7          G
If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheating on me

                           D7
No matter where you are or what you do

G                                 D7
Folks start to whistle and how is you

     G                          C
When they get too close I wanna say shoo

      G                               D7      G
Cause it looks like they wanna take a bite of you

                     D7
So run 'em off don't talk too long

        G                               D7
Run ‘em off they’re trying to get you in Dutch

        G                       C
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

   G                                    D7          G
If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheating on me

                                            D7
Now once I ended this song but I write some more

      G                                            D7
Cause there's a half-a-dozen wolfs coming up to my door

    G                                  C
And I can tell by a looking cause it's plain to see

     G                        D7      G
That they're not here to make eyes at me

                     D7
So run 'em off don't talk too long

        G                D7
Run ‘em off so we can be alone

        G                       C
Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

   G                                    D7          G
If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheating on me
