Song 1 – Down to the woods
If you go down to the woods today,
You’d better go in disguise.
Beware! Hiding in the dark…
There! Gliding through the shadows,
There’s a lurking, smirking smile.
I thought I saw a …shhh!
If you go down to the woods today,
You’d better not go alone.
Beware! Prowling through the trees…
There! Howling in the hollows,
There’s a cheerless, fearless face.
I thought I saw a …shhh!
Ears – twitching with excitement…
Eyes – sinister and sly…
Teeth – sharper than a sabre…
Waiting for a little girl to wander by!
Tongue – sliding like a serpent…
Claws – ready to attack…
Something’s lurking in the shadows,
Leave the wood and DON’T COME BACK!
If you go down to the woods today,
Stay on the path in the light,
Beware! Creeping through the wood…
There! Peeping through the branches,
There’s a growling, scowling…WAIT!
I thought I saw a…WHAT?
I thought I saw a…WHERE?
I thought I saw a…WHEN?
I thought I saw a WOLF!!
Song 2 – Welcome to the forest
Welcome Miss, welcome to the forest,
Now that your journey has begun,
Careful Miss, careful that you don’t stray from the path,
Hurry back before the day is done.
What’s this? What’s this?
A tasty little Miss.
What’s this? What’s this?
A tasty little Miss.
What’s that? What’s that?
A mangy little rat.
What’s that? What’s that?
The wolf would love to meet you.
Welcome Miss, welcome to the forest,
Now that your journey has begun,
Careful Miss, careful that you don’t stray from the path,
Hurry back before the day is done.
What’s this? What’s this?
And return back before the day is done.
What’s that? What’s that?
We’re glad to meet you in the wood.
Welcome to the wood.
Song 3 – The Wolf
(Sniff!)
Crunch!
Squish!
Hmmmmm!
(Sniff!)
Aaah!
Shhhh!
Song 4 – The marching song
Three little piglets march along,
Proudly singing a marching song,
Keeping the peace and righting wrong,
The wardens of the woods.
Three little pigs are on their way,
Fighting crime in the woods today,
Three little pigs are here to stay,
The wardens of the woods.
We’re SLOP
S-L-O-P
And we’ll never stop
S-T-O-P
We’ll work ‘til we drop
D-R-O-P
To make this a great and good land.
The best
B-E-S-T
We pass every test
T-E-S-T
And we’ll never rest
R-E-S-T
‘Til this is a wolf-less woodland.
Three little piglets march along,
Proudly singing a marching song,
Keeping the peace and righting wrong,
The wardens of the woods.
Three little pigs are on their way,
Fighting crime in the woods today,
Three little pigs are here to stay,
We’re here to stay! ….SLOP!
Song 5 – The marching song (again)
(Just sing these two verses.)
Song 6 – Take a walk in the woodland
Take a walk in the woodland,
Take a walk where the balmy breezes blow,
Take a walk in the woodland,
Take a walk where exotic flowers grow.
Strolling under the trees,
Chasing squirrels and butterflies and bees,
Take a walk in the woodland,
Miss. Riding Hood please.
If you want to reach your destination,
Don’t, don’t, don’t delay.
To avoid a sorry situation,
Go, go, go away.
Don’t be tempted by
A combination of butterflies and bees.
Don’t be late for tea at Granny’s,
Miss. Riding Hood please.
(choose)
Take a walk in the woodland,
If you want to reach your destination,
Take a walk where the balmy breezes blow,
Don’t, don’t, don’t delay.
Take a walk in the woodland,
To avoid a sorry situation,
Take a walk where exotic flowers grow.
Go, go, go away.
Strolling under the trees,
Don’t be tempted by
Chasing squirrels and butterflies and bees,
A combination of butterflies and bees.
Take a walk in the woodland,
Don’t be late for tea at Granny’s,
Miss. Riding Hood please.
Miss. Riding Hood please.
Song 7 – Knock, knock, knock.
Knock, knock, knock it’s the postman, ma’am,
Got a load of parcels in my postal van,
Knock, knock, knock haven’t got all day,
Open up the door and I’ll be on my way.
Clear off! Scoot! And skedaddle!
Take a running jump or row off down a creek without a paddle,
You must think I’m a loon,
Postmen never visit in the afternoon.
Knock, knock, knock it’s the butcher, ma’am,
Got a load of bacon in my butcher’s van,
Knock, knock, knock haven’t got all day,
Open up the door and I’ll be on my way.
Clear off! Scoot! And skedaddle!
Take a running jump or row off down a creek without a paddle,
You must think I’m a loon,
Butcher’s never visit in the afternoon.
Knock, knock, knock it’s the baker, ma’am,
Got some chocolate brownies in my baker’s van,
Knock, knock, knock haven’t got all day,
Open up the door and I’ll be on my way.
Hold on, no, wait a minute!
I love a chocolate brownie with the chocolate oozing from within it,
Please don’t go, I implore,
Let me find the key and open up the door!
In my tummy, there’s a rumbling,
Like there’s someone in there tumbling,
But there’s little point in grumbling,
‘Cause it’s tea-time!
Song 8 – Whistling and Waving
Seems sort of odd, sort of strange and uncanny,
That the wolf’s very fat and there’s no sign of Granny,
And you search through the house, every nook, every cranny,
But she’s still nowhere to be seen.
We’ve got a hunch, and it seems that the sinner,
Came and sniffed out her Gran and then ate her for dinner,
But she won’t let a wily old wolf be the winner,
So she’s going to intervene.
And there’ll be whistling and waving for the girl in the hood,
Who’s incredibly brave and who’s incredibly good,
For she saved all the animals who live in the wood from the wolf.
Yes there’ll be cheering and clapping for the girl in the hood,
Who’s incredibly brave and who’s incredibly good,
For she saved all the animals who live in the wood…from the wolf!
No time to lose ‘cause her Gran’s in his belly,
Where it’s dark and it’s damp and it’s terribly smelly,
Time to act like the doctors you see on the telly,
Time to open him up right now.
Nothing to fear from this strange situation,
Just a girl and a wolf and a small operation,
And a grandmother whose final extermination,
Didn’t happen anyhow.
And there’ll be whistling and waving for the girl in the hood,
Who’s incredibly brave and who’s incredibly good,
For she saved all the animals who live in the wood from the wolf.
Yes there’ll be cheering and clapping for the girl in the hood,
Who’s incredibly brave and who’s incredibly good,
For she saved all the animals who live in the wood…
from the…
hungry…
heartless wolf!
Song 9 – Finale
Did you hear…what she said?
Did you see her swanning about?
One false move… We’ll be next!
Heads will roll, there isn’t a doubt.
So to save our skin,
We’ll stand by her thick and thin,
We’ll stand by her sickly grin,
We’ll stand by her anything to make her happy.
Sing out loud,
We’ll stand by her we’re not proud,
We’ll stand by her join the crowd,
And follow our lead….As we go….
Whistling and waving for the girl in the hood,
Who’s incredibly brave and who’s incredibly good,
For she saved all the animals who live in the wood from the wolf.
Yes we’ll be cheering and clapping for the girl in the hood,
Who’s incredibly brave and who’s incredibly good,
For she saved all the animals who live in the wood…from the…Shhhhh!
