1. Once Upon a Time
Deep in a forest or high in the sky
A tale starts to unfold
See the bear, see the wolf
See the bird as she flies
Your favorite story is told
A fairy tale princess, a giant, a king
A dragon, a wizard, a troll
Put yourself in a story, you can be anything
Another story is told
Once upon a time, come with me I’ll take you there
Once upon a time, so many stories that we can share
And who knows what we’ll find? Once upon a time
Over a rainbow or over the sea
There lies a pot of gold
So many treasures await you and me
So, come, let the story be told
Once upon a time…
2. Red's In the Hood
Well, who's that comin' down the street? (Red, Red)
With a bright red coat so nice and neat (Red, Red)
With smile on the face and a beat in the feet (Red, Red)
It's Red… Red's in the Hood!
Red's in the Hood
Little Red riding through the neighborhood
Go say hi, it'll do you good
Red's in the Hood
Little Red riding through the neighborhood
Red’s in the Hood
Who is sweet? Who is kind? (Red, Red)
Who's that lookin' oh so fine? (Red, Red)
Who's gonna be a friend of mine? (Red, Red)
It's Red… Red's in the Hood!
Red's in the Hood…
With a basket in her hand
She comes to do the best she can
To spread a little joy, a little cheer
Bringing smiles and bringing treats
To all the people that she meets
We're so glad to have her 'round here
Red's in the Hood…
3. Flower The Clown
I'm flower the clown and I come to town
Gonna turn your world upside-down
Come pickin' flowers in the woods with me
We'll bag those buds, just wait and see
4. Cry Wolf
Ah-Ooo, I am so confused, misunderstood
You would know I’m good, you could you should
Just hear me, not fear me
There are people that won’t come near me
And it hurts me bad cuz I’m a sensitive guy
I walk by and all the people just cry…
Wolf! (Wolf!) That is what they do to me
Wolf! (Wolf!) Cuz they only see what they wanna see
A wolf, you say…What’s up with that?
Why aren’t you hangin’ with you’re wolfie pack?
Not rapping, flapping your wolfie mouth and tapping
Your furry paws to the beat. Get off the street, the concrete
Go retreat, out of the hood to the wood
Or we’ll turn up the heat and cry
Wolf! (Wolf!)…
You know what, who cares what they said to me
I’m a star now. I drive a big car now.
All the kids see me, all the kids wanna be me
It’s a virtual guarantee that every time
I climb to the stage: Front page
Some say it’s the start of the Wolfie age…
5. Stay on the Path
When you're walkin' on your own
And you’re very far from home
Well, just remember not to roam
And stay on the pathIf a false path is calling you
There is something you should do
Take the way you know is true
And stay on the path
Na..na…na.. stay on the path (2x)
P – A – T – H stay on the path (2x)
When the forest is strange and dark
When no one else is in the park
Be yourself, make your mark
But stay on the path
Na..na…na..
P – A – T – H…
6. The Forest
Well, I love seeing all my friends in the neighborhood
This big old town has got a way of making me feel good
But lots of buildings, lots of cars, they have got a way
To make me feel, that it’s not real… I've got to get away
To the forest...That is where I want to be
The forest...Listen to the singing tree
The forest...Watch her wake and welcome me
The forest, the forest, the forest
Crickets hum a soft hello, birds take to the wing
Squirrels playin' hide and seek, like the first of spring
Wild flowers peak on out, through the forest floor
You can watch it on TV, but me I want much more
The forest…
Listen to the music of the wind in the leaves
And the birds in the trees
And the trickle of the stream
In the forest of my dreams
The forest...
7. Flower the Clown (reprise)
I'm flower the clown and I come to town
Gonna turn your world upside-down
Come pickin' flowers in the woods with me
We'll bag those buds, just wait and see
8. Big Bad Tune
I’m the Big Bad Wolf and I’m back in town
I won’t be Mr. Nice guy anymore
I'm the Big Bad Wolf and though I’m world renowned
It won’t stop me comin’ knocking at your door
A-oo, I like to howl (a-ooo!)
A-oo, I like to bark at the moon (ruf-ruf-ruf)
A-oo, I like to scare those little kiddies
And sing my big bad tune
9. Granny-a-Go-Go
Go - Go - Go – Go - Go
Don't go lookin' for me near the shuffleboard
I don’t drive a rusty 57 Ford
I takes my motorcycle to the dancin' scene
Cause I’m the hippest hoppin granny that you've ever seen
Go-go Granny, Go-go Granny a Go-Go (2x)
No needlepoint, no knitting and no macramé
No root beer barrel polka and no Doris Day
Don't think 'cuz she's a Granny that you know the score
Cuz I’m like nothin’ that you've seen on the old dance floor
Go-go Granny…
And when she's done and had her fun she'll come back home
And bake you chocolate cookies for your very own
Cause she can do the Granny thing, play the Granny game
Til the dancing music starts and then I go insane
Go-go Granny…
10. Noises in the Night
Well there are all kinds of things if you look around
That make some kind of wonderful sound
Like a running stream or a plane in flight
But there's one bunch of sounds that can give me a fright
It's those creepy little... noises in the night
There’s a lonely wolf (a-ooo) howling at the moon
There’s an old gray owl (hoo-hoo) singing a midnight tune
There’s a creaky door (creek) opening down the hall
Sometimes the scariest sound is no sound at all
Was that an owl I heard, well, it’s just a bird
It makes me shiver, take my word
Was that a couple of cats picking a fight?
Or an alien monster shrieking with delight?
I really cannot stand those noises in the night
There’s a lonely wolf…
You know, no matter how bad my fear
When I fall asleep, it disappears
And when you wake in the morning's light you realize that I was right
There is nothing much to fear from noises in the night
There’s a lonely wolf...
11. Oh Granny
Oh, Granny, dear Granny, it’s uncanny
And I should not be makin’ a federal case
But Granny, dear Granny it’s uncanny
There’s something kinda strange about your face
Oh, Granny, dear Granny, it’s uncanny
I love you even if your looks got weird
And that is a good thing, my dear Granny
Cuz you’re looking kinda odd with your new beard
I remember when your skin was white as snow
And Granny that was not so long ago
Oh, Granny, dear Granny, it’s uncanny
I am so confused I’m in a fog
To see you dear Granny, it makes me clammy
You don’t look like yourself, more like a…dog
12. Red’s Party Mix
RED! RED!
Red’s in the hood
Little red ridin’ through the neighborhood
Red’s in the hood
Go say hi it’ll do you good
Red’s in the hood
Little red ridin’ through the neighborhood
Wolf! (Wolf) That is what they do to me
Wolf! (Wolf) Aa-ooo (Aa-ooo)
Wolf! (Wolf) That is what they do to me
Wolf! (Wolf) Cuz they only see what they wanna see
P – A – T – H stay on the path! (2x)
Na-na-na-na-na, stay on the path
Na-na-na-na-na
RED! RED! Tell us where you want to be
The forest…that is where I want to be
The forest...Listen to the singing tree
The forest...Watch her wake and welcome me
RED! RED!
The forest, the forest, the forest, the forest
A-oo, I like to howl (a-ooo!)
A-oo, I like to bark at the moon (ruf-ruf-ruf)
A-oo, I like to scare those little kiddies
In the forest, the forest. In the forest, the forest
Go, Go, Go, Go!
Go-go Granny, Go-go Granny a Go-Go (2x)
Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!
There’s a lonely wolf (a-ooo)
There’s an old gray owl (hoo-hoo)
There’s a creaky door (creak)
Sometimes the scariest sound
Is RED! RED!… RED! RED!
Oh Granny, dear Granny it’s uncanny
And I should not be makin’ a federal case
But Granny Granny it’s uncanny
There’s something kinda strange about your face
Red’s in the Hood
Little Red riding through the neighborhood
Red’s in the Hood
Go say hi, it'll do you good
Red's in the Hood
Little Red riding through the neighborhood
RED! RED!
Red…Red…Red…Red’s in the hood!
13. Once Upon a Time (reprise)
So another story has come to and end
Words of sorrow and of laughter
So many more stories are out there my friend
In the happily ever after
Once upon a time, come with me I’ll take you there
Once upon a time, so many stories that we can share
And who knows what we’ll find?
Once upon a time
