Mr. Wolf And Mamabear Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

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 

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 laid there beside Miss Peacock 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 wheel man, the famous Wolverine 

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

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
