Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf? (Live at the Bon Soir, Greenwich Village, NYC - Nov. 6, 1962)

[spoken]

Well, people complain that I don't sing standards

So I'm gonna sing a standard

I forgot

[sung]

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

Tra la la la la

Long ago there were three pigs

Little handsome piggy wigs

For the big, bad, the very big, very bad wolf

They did not give three figs

Number one was very gay

And he built his house with hay

With a hey hey toot he blew on his flute

And played around all day

Now number two was fond of jigs

And so he built his house with twigs

Hey, diddle diddle he played on his fiddle

And danced with lady pigs

Number three said: "Nix on tricks

I shall build my house with bricks!"

He had no chance to sing or dance

'Cause work and play don't mix

Ha, ha, ha, the two little do-little pigs

Just winked and laughed ah-ah

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

Tra la la la la

Came the day when fate did frown

And a wolf blew into town

With a gruff puff puff, he puffed just enough

And the hay house fell right down

One and two were scared to death

Of the big bad wolfy's breath

By the hair of your chinny chin I'll blow you in

And the twig house answered "Yes"

No one left but number three

To save that piglet family

So when they knocked, he fast unlocked

And said, "Come in with me!"

Now they all were safe inside

But the bricks hurt wolfy's pride

So he slid down the chimney and oh by jimminy

In a fire he was fried

Oh oh oh, the three little free little pigs

Just winked and laughed ah-ah

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

Tra la la la la

Tra la la tra la la

Tra la la la la la la la la

[spoken]

Oh my god

[sung]

Who's afraid of the big bad

Big bad

Big bad wolf?

[spoken]
