Mr. Wolf And Mamabear
Mr. Wolf and Mama Bear were banging on the door I told 'em once, I told 'em twice, don't come 'round here no more They've stolen all our chickens, they killed our neighbor's cat Last night I saw 'em talking to big weasel and his rat It's such a cozy neighborhood, we love our little town Lately things ain't been so good, there's something goin' down It happened just a year ago; someone hired a band They had a dog and pony show that got clean out of hand There was fur and feathers flyin', the son of the old goat Said Coon-boy pulled a shotgun from his worn out overcoat Bobcat killed Miss Peacock; Coon-boy shot the Mare While Mr. Wolf smoked opium and grinned at Mama Bear Two dead ducks lay there beside Miss Peacock on the floor The fat goose grabbed the telephone and called the Dogs of War The guineas begged for mercy, the pigs began to squeal Coon-boy took the kitty, jumped in his automobile Bobcat and the wheelman, the famous Wolverine Shot out the light and in the night they faded from the scene Chief Detective Rambouillet did not work for free And Sheriff Hog was called away unexpectedly The sheriff's re-election, the murder of the Mare Might get Hog implicated with the Wolf and Mama Bear So Rambouillet took up the case then shut it down for good SongtexteHe bought a house in southern France but lives in Hollywood The bodies of the bobcat and the famous Wolverine Were found inside a motel room outside of San Joaquin The city council voted the insurance board to pay The victims of that heinous crime upon that dreadful day And I watch from the shadows where beneath a frosty moon Mr. Wolf and Mama Bear feed on a dead raccoon Aus Songtexte Mania
