If you’re like me and don’t like to play Bb or Barre F, you

Can capo on 3 and sub D for F, G for Bb and A7 for C7.

F Bb

Mr. Wolf and Mama Bear were bangin' on the door

F C7

I told 'em once, I told 'em twice, don't come around here no more

F Bb

They've stolen all our chickens, they killed our neighbor's cat

F C7

Last night I saw them talkin' to Big Weasel and his rat

Bb C7 F Bb

It's such a cozy neighborhood, we love our little town

F C7 F

Lately things ain't been so good, there's somethin 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 Ms. Peacock on the floor

The fat goose grabbed the telephone and called the dogs of war

The kitties begged for mercy, the pigs began to squeal

Coon Boy took the kitty, jumped in his automobile

Bobcat and the wheel man, the famous wolverine

Shot out the light and in the night they faded from the scene

Chief Detective Rambouille did not work for free

And Sherriff Hog was called away unexpectedly

The sherriff's reelection, the murder of the mare

Might get Hog implicated with The Wolf and Mama Bear

So Rambouille took up the case and shut it down for good

He bought a house in southern France but lives in Hollywood

Instrumental

The bodies of the Bobcat and the famous wolverine

Were found inside a motel room outside of San Juaquin

The City Council voted the Insurance Board to pay

The victims of that heinous crime upon that dreadful day

And I watched from the shadows, where beneath the frosty moon

Mr. Wolf and Mama Bear feed on a dead raccoon
