Why did they ever invent such a tale
that went out for sale!
of little Red Riding Hood and the grotesque fox
who soon got his tail chopped on a wooden box!

But the real story could change the mood of a child in bed
who will soon fear, tremble and sweat
Have you ever read the blood curling tale
of little Red Riding Hood who went to jail?

So one evening
she began to ring
her friend Carl
who always growl and snarl
and the repulsive pair
sneaked into the bedroom of the Mayor

They scoured and slotted precious jewels
until there was no time to lose
The Mayor woke up from deep night sleep
and began to go tweet tweet

Those barmy brutes accidentally left
a trail of leaking paint cans
so the Mayor followed their tracks
to her house in the pitch black

Now when their deed was known
to those in Melbourne
she was flung behind the bar
leaving her dear mother like an empty jar

so you must never never follow the teachings

of this mischievous brat

that can spoil your existence like that.
