Act I: Hello, Little Girl

Good day, young lady
(Good day, Mr. Wolf)

Whither away so hurriedly?
(To my grandmother's)

And where might your grandmother live?
(Her house stands under the three large oak trees)
Ah!
Mm

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

Hello, little girl
What's your rush?
You're missin' all the flowers
The sun won't set for hours
Take your time

Mother said
Straight ahead
Not to delay, or be misled

But slow, little girl
Hawk 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
What a perfection
One brittle, one supple

(One moment, my dear) Mother said
Come what may
Follow the path and never stray

Just so, little girl
Any path
So many worth exploring
Just one would be so boring
And look what you're ignoring

Delicate meat
Crispy bone
Pig is a treat for the palate
All of this scrumptious carnality
Ah, what a day
There's no possible way
To describe what you feel
When you're talkin' to your meal!

Mother said
Not to stray
Still, I suppose a small delay
Granny might like a fresh bouquet

Goodbye, Mr. Wolf

Goodbye, little girl

Goodbye, little piggies
And hello
