Stephen Sondheim - Hello Little Girl lyrics

[WOLF, spoken] Good day, young lady [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, spoken] Good day, Mr. Wolf [WOLF] Mmmh...Unhh... Look at that flesh, pink and plump Hello, little girl... Tender and fresh, not one lump Hello, little girl... This one's especially lush Delicious... Mmmh... Hello, little girl, what's your rush? You're missing all the flowers The sun won't set for hours Take your time [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] Mother said, "Straight ahead," Not to delay or be misled [WOLF] But slow, little girl, hark! And hush-- The birds are singing sweetly You'll miss the birds completely You're traveling so fleetly Grandmother first, then Miss Plump... What a delectable couple: Utter perfection, one brittle, one supple-- One moment, my dear--! [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] Mother said, "Come what may Follow the path and never stray." [WOLF] Just so, little girl-- any path So many worth exploring Just one would be so boring And look what you're ignoring... Think of those crisp, aging bones Then something fresh on the palate Think of that scrumptious carnality twice in one day--! There's no possible way to describe what you feel When you're talking to your meal! [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] Mother said not to stray Still, I suppose, a small delay... Granny might like a fresh bouquet... (spoken) Goodbye, Mr. Wolf [WOLF, spoken] Goodbye, little girl (sung) And hello... [howls]
