Lyrics

Short Story

The boy loves the wolf

The wolf loves the boy

They're kissing

In the forest

One hand on his shoulder

One hand on her hand

Of joy

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la hey-oh

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la

The father has a gun

He's hiding behind a tree

He doesn't want a wolf

In his family

Singing

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la hey-oh

Singing

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la
