Run 'Em Off

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

And Little Red Riding Hood was scared as a mouse

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

That some two-legged wolf would run away with you

So, run 'em off

No use to talk all day

Run 'em off

They're trying to get you to play

Run 'em off

Make 'em let us be

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

Now there's an iceman, 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'll swear you're cheating on me

No matter where you are or what you do

Folks all a-whistle and howl at you

When they get too close then I want to say, shoo

'Cause it looks like they want to take a bite of you

So run 'em off

Don't talk too much

Run 'em off

You're gonna get in dutch

Run 'em off

And make 'em let us be

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

Now once I ended this song but I'll write some more

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

I can tell by looking, 'cause it's plain to see

That they're not here to make eyes at me

Run 'em off (run 'em off)

Don't want them hanging around

Run 'em off (run 'em off)

You'll be the talk of the town

Run 'em off (run 'em off)

And make 'em let us be

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