Little Red, what makes you wander off the forest road?
Little Red, why have you slowed so far from your abode?

The fairy slips are blooming, the columbine grows tall,
and gather I for Granny, the fairest of them all.

Little Red, come here, my dear, and let me see you close.
Little Red, what makes you pause, your face white as a ghost?

Oh, Granny love, what's happened? Your hair's a brambled wreath,
your eyes turned black, your nose grown long, and scarlet your sharp teeth!

Little Red, I see you clear and smell your quickened blood. Little Red, it's time to taste what's underneath the hood.

Hack, hack, hack, comes in the lumberjack.
Chop, chop, chop, the wolf top goes flip flop.
Out, out, out, old granny like a scout.
Good, good, good, emerge Red Riding Hood.
