LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
(J.P. Richardson)


The Big Bopper - 1958





(Rapping on door)

Let me in, honey!
This is the Big Bopper knockin'

Hello, a-Little Red Riding Hood
I heard about'ya and it's all been good
I wanta meet'ya, so I'm standin' at your door
I been a-knockin' till my knuckles are sore
A-baby, let me in, I wanna be your friend
A-bing-bang-biddle-dee-bang, baby let me in

I been a-talkin' to the Three Little Pigs
When they saw ya, man, they flipped their wigs
Said you're the swingin'ist and that's no lie
I dig ya baby 'cause for you I got eyes
A-baby, let me in, I wanna be your friend
A-bing-bang-biddle-dee-bang, baby let me in

I'm the Big Bad Wolf that you heard about
Somethin' about you just a-knocks me out
Let me in, baby, while your Granma ain't around
Or I'll huff-ah-ah, a-puff-ah-ah, and blow your house down

Come on a-Little Red Riding Hood
I know you're rockin' rollin' boppin' so good
Let me in, baby, and shake the shack
A-gonna have a ball until your Granma gets back
A-baby, let me in, I wanna be your friend
A-bing-bang-biddle-dee-bang, baby let me in

Hah-hah-hah
Now let me in now, honey
I just wanna talk to ya
Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-haaaah
You know you're lonesome in there by yourself
So, put the key in the door
And go tick-a-locka, tick-a-lock
And let me in now, honey

I'm the Big Bad Wolf that you heard about
Somethin' about you just a-knocks me out
Let me in, baby, while your Granma ain't around
Or I'll huff-ah-ah, a-puff-ah-ah, and blow your house down

A-come on a-Little Red Riding Hood
I know you're rockin' rollin' boppin' so good
Unlock the door and shake the shack
A-gonna have a ball until your Granma gets back
A-baby, let me in, I wanna be your friend
A-bing-bang-biddle-dee-bang, baby let me in
