Lyrics
BIG BAD WOLF
Big bad wolf you came prowling ?round my door tonight
Howling let me in, ?cause I?ve got such an appetite
I said no, you lost your cool and let your fury fly
You can blow, blow, blow like a hurricane
You can?t knock me down no matter how you rage
So blow, blow, blow yourself away
I tried to talk some sense to you, but I didn?t dare
You huffed, you puffed, you stomped around, you had me running scared
Then I saw that fire you breathe is nothing but hot air
I used to have a house of straw, but I didn?t get too far
Then I built a house of sticks to keep you from my heart
Now I?ve got a house of stone that you can?t tear apart
