Go to sleep, little Wolf, the chickens can wait.
They’ll be there in the morning as nice juicy bait.

Go to sleep, little Wolf, the pigs can all snort,
Leave them safe in their houses, they’re easily caught.

Go to sleep, little Wolf, let Riding Hood rest,
She’ll taste so much better if she’s at her best.

Go to sleep, little Wolf, leave the sheep in their flock,
They’re easy to catch when you’ve slept like a rock.

Go to sleep, little Wolf, don’t howl at the Moon,
If you follow her lead, you’ll sleep in ’til noon.

Go to sleep, little Wolf, you’re still just a pup,
If you don’t nod off soon… I’LL EAT YOU ALL UP.
