Dessert? Are you having dinner, Mr. Wolf?
Uh, not yet, not yet, my dear
Halloween on Christmas, make sure the mask fit
Eyes glitterin' through the eyeholes, exchange gifts
Station chief in Cairo, add a name to the list, that's '86
The bed's armor plated, look how it sit
Mugabe never hesitated, Samora did
That's why Samora dead and Lee Perry alive
Cancer ate Marley leg, ol' Bob won't die
All told, he told no lies
Count to ten when closed both eyes
Orphan said, "More, please"
Persephone came home to Orpheus with sore knees, flushed cheeks
I get why you don't wanna believe that water get deep
Obama cushed when he speak, so articulate
Leaf stuck in his buck teeth, stuck, in the bucket seats
Tow truck pulled me through Manhattan, waved like a king
Woe to whoever not clappin', rap scat in a predictable pattern
The pimp nails like talons, gratuity include in the final balance
Gallons and gallons out that Niger Delta
But when his name came up, e'rybody fell silent
Oh, granny, what big eyes you got (all the better to watch for the cops)
Oh, granny, what big ears those is (all the better to hear the pigs)
Oh, granny, those are some sharp teeth (all the better when it's time to eat)
Still in my seat when the movie end
When the credits roll, big toothy grin
Big ol' bag of candy I snuck in
Might as well run it again
Weed's destroying your limbic system, not a friend, it's not a friend
E'ry knee bends when the engineer cue the stems
Wax nostalgic 'bout future events
A lawful possession of financial instruments, frowny face
Made haste to vacate the place
The ride smelled like wedding cake
Steeplechase, she pressed gas, I pumped the brakes
Sheepish face
How bad you wanna know, like a box of unmarked VHS tapes? (How bad?)
In your Dad's storage space, nobody knew about
'Til he passed, they called the payment was late
The rust flaked off when you raised the gate
Goodbye, Mr. Wolf (toodle-oo)
When you raised the grate
The wolf stood looking after red riding hood
And when she was out of sight, he grinned
A wide grin
Showing all of his long glistening teeth
