Take this custard. Take this butter
Take it to your dear grandmother.
Little Red Riding Hood went walking in the wood
Little Red Riding Hood went walking in the wood
Take good care now her mother did say-o
And don't you wander don't lose your way
As she was strolling from tree to tree-o
A big bad wolf she perchance did see-o
That wolf he rose up from the place he was hiding
"Now where are you going my Little Red Riding?"
She arrived to find Grandma a-lying in her bed s
She came a little closer and this is what she said –o
"Grandma what big eyes you have."
"All the better to see you with my dear."
"Grandma what big ears you have."
"All the better to hear you with my dear."
"Grandma what big teeth you have."
"All the better to eat you with my dear!"
That poor little girl was taken, that sweet Red Riding
And inside the wolf's fat belly she found her grandma crying.
Then a hunter passing by heard an anguished cry
He slew the wolf in his bed then chopped off his wicked head.
And that is the end of our story. 'Twas lucky the hunter was near-o
To the little girl and her grandma he will always be a hero.
