Mr. Wolf and Mamabear lyrics
by Robert Earl Keen
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 Peac*ck
Coon-boy shot the Mare
While Mr. Wolf smoked opium
And grinned at Mama Bear
[Verse 3]
Two dead ducks lay there
Beside Miss Peac*ck 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
[Verse 4]
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
