Little Dead Riding Hood

lyrics

Little Dead Riding Hood
Stole her mother's clothes,
Headed off into the woods
Clutching a red rose,
Slept among the leaves,
Drunk on Grandma's gin,
Howled out loud at the moon
As the worms crawled cross her skin.
And never knew the trouble she was getting in.

Little Dead Riding Hood
Stole her father's axe,
Took the road into town
Under a cloud of vampire bats,
Felled the old oak tree
That crowned the town square,
Disappeared into the mountains
On the back of a grizzly bear.
And all the while she's acting like she didn't care.

Little Dead Riding Hood
Stole the woodcutter's keys,
Headed off into the big city
On the back of his Harley D.
Got the Big Bad Wolf,
Tied him to the rails,
Waited for the 10:02 to cut him in two
And dumped his dismembered body
Outside the county jail.
'Tis pity that she'd never live to tell the tale.
