OH, yes, the Wolf is bad, it's true; / But how with-out him could we do? / If there were not a wolf, what good / Would be the tale of RID-ING-HOOD? / The Lit-tle Child from sin will fly / When told the wick-ed Wolf is nigh; / And when, ar-rived at Man's es-tate, / He hears the Wolf out-side his gate, / He knows it's time to put a-way / I-dle fri-vol-i-ty and play.
That's how (but do not men-tion it) / This prim-er hap-pened to be writ.
