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

He 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
