  			F                           Bb 
Mr. Wolf and Mama Bear were bangin' on the door 
  F                                      C7  
I told 'em once, I told 'em twice, don't come around here no more 
        F                             Bb 
They've stolen all our chickens, they killed our neighbor's cat 
     F                               C7 
Last night I saw them talkin' to Big Weasel and his rat 
     Bb     C7                    F               Bb 
It's such a cozy neighborhood, we love our little town 
F                                         C7             F 
Lately things ain't been so good, there's somethin 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 Ms. Peacock on the floor 
The fat goose grabbed the telephone and called the dogs of war 
The kitties begged for mercy, the pigs began to squeal 
Coon Boy took the kitty, jumped in his automobile 
Bobcat and the wheel man, the famous wolverine 
Shot out the light and in the night they faded from the scene 

Chief Detective Rambouille did not work for free 
And Sheriff Hog was called away unexpectedly 
The sheriff's reelection, the murder of the mare 
Might get Hog implicated with The Wolf and Mama Bear 
So Rambouille took up the case and shut it down for good 
He bought a house in southern France but lives in Hollywood 

Instrumental 

The bodies of the Bobcat and the famous wolverine 
Were found inside a motel room outside of San Juaquin 
The City Council voted the Insurance Board to pay 
The victims of that heinous crime upon that dreadful day 
And I watched from the shadows, where beneath the frosty moon 
Mr. Wolf and Mama Bear feed on a dead raccoon
