I Em
had a wolf one A
day :
C
Wick ed D
grin ! Wicked Em
teeth !
A Em
wait ing stupid A
prey
To C
stumble D
right in his Em
reach .
A
How he drooled! How he C
stared at me!
D
How he’d like a Em
taste !
A
He’d grab one if I C
once should turn my back:
D
So finger-lickin’ Em
good .

I had a hen one day:I had a wolf one day:Without a brain, without a doubt!Wicked grin! Wicked teeth!She hopped around in place.A waiting, stupid prey!She scratched the ground and looked aboutto stumble right in his reach.I knew by just how fat she wasHow he drooled! How he stared at me!She never could resist.How he’d like a taste!Though I had bound her plump little legs,He’d grab one if I once should turn my back.She’d find herself a meal.So finger-lickin’ good.

I had a sack of corn: I had a hen one day: A golden grain too good to waste. Without a brain, without a doubt! As sure as I was born, She hopped around in place. I knew the hen would want a taste. She scratched the ground and looked about Greedy bird!  She’d eat anything! I knew by just how fat she was! And this was high-grade corn. She never could resist. I knew if I should leave, she’d wiggle free, Though I had bound her plump little legs, In thirty seconds flat. She’d find herself a meal. A
Tell me how, C
tell me how, tell me how Tell me how To D
get to the Em
mar ketplace. To get these three across the stream. A
Just one boat I can’t take them all at once     C
   at my command.   A
One by one But even worse, Means two are a Em
lone . Can’t leave two alone. Em
Oh , my A
wolf Oh, my hen We C
must reach the D
mar ketplace. We must get across. I’ll Em
make you a A
deal . Tell you what... C
Will you D
stay on the side? Will you just behave? Em
If we make it A
there If you need, C
I’ll give you D
half a share. I’ll get you some chickenfeed. Can I Em
trust ? Can I trust? C
Dare I Em
trust ? Dare I trust? Oh, my word! Oh, my gawd. So much for good faith! Should never have trusted them! I’m a fool! Can’t reach them in time. There goes all my crop. Right down the chicken’s crop. There she goes, Grain-fed Cornish hen! Right into his waiting jaws. Look at the feathers fly! Serves her right! Serves her right! Serves her right! Serves you right! A
Serves Em
me right.

I Em
had a wolf one A
day .    C
     D
     Em
