'Oh Wolfie' from Red Hot Riding Hood


Hi :)

I've been looking for the lyrics to "Oh Wolfie". If anyone could send them

to me, I would be eternally grateful.

Thank you in advance.

The song is actually from the sequal swing shift cinderella here are the lyrics from the quotes section: All the chicks in town are crazy for a certain burly wolf/ A real sharp curly, curly wolf/ Whose line is oh so smooth when he spreads it on!/ Oh so smooth, he's in the groove/ Where lovin' is a cinch/ And all the babes in town trail him around/ Just to hold his paw and say... / Oh, wolfie! Oh, wolfie!/ Ain't you the one?/ Oh, wolfie! Oh, wolfie!/ Ain't we go fun?

Furthermore, "Oh Wolfie" (which also appeared in the final Avery cartoon to utilise this formula, 1949's Little Rural Riding Hood) was a rewrite of "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!" which had been recorded in 1939 by Orrin Tucker & His Orchestra, with "Wee" Bonnie Baker on vocals.

The song Red sings in "Red Hot Riding Hood" is actually "Daddy" written circa 1941, by Bobby Troup.

All the chicks are crazy for a certain burly wolf/ a real sharp curly burly wolf/whose line is oh so smooth when he spreads it on/sharp or smooth he's in the groove/where loving is his thing/and all the babes in town/trail him around just to hold his paw and sing/ oh Wolfie oh Wolfie/ain't you the one/ oh Wolfie oh wolfie / ain't we got fun/ you send the shivers up my spine/ and when you're near I just can't / sit still a minute/ tell me oh wolfie /oh Wolfie please tell me do/ what makes me love you so/ you're not rugged its true/ but when I look at you/ I'm so.. oh Wolfie oh wolfie... oooh Wolfie.
