“Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf?“ (Henry Hall, 1933)

Henry Hall recorded Frank Churchill’s song soon after the release of the Disney short--Churchill & Ann Ronnell collaborated on the lyrics, Beeb singer Les Allen’s at the mike: WHO’S AFRAID OF THE BIG, BAD WOLF? Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf Big bad wolf, big bad wolf? Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Tra la la la la Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf Big bad wolf, big bad wolf? Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Tra la la la la Long ago there were three pigs Little handsome piggy-wigs For the big, bad very big very bad wolf They didn’t give three figs Number one was very gay And he built his house of hay With a hey hey toot He blew on his flute And he played around all day Number two was fond of jigs And so he built his house with twigs Heigh diddle-diddle He played on his fiddle And danced with lady pigs Number three said “Nix on tricks I will built my house with bricks“ He had no chance To sing and dance ’Cause work and play don’t mix Ha ha ha! The two little Do little pigs just winked and laugh, ha ha! Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf Big bad wolf, big bad wolf? Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Tra la la la la Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf Big bad wolf, big bad wolf? Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Tra la la la la Came the day when fate did frown And the wolf blew into town With a gruff “puff-puff“ he puffed just enough And the hay house fell right down One and two were scared to death Of the big bad wolfie’s breath “By the hair of your chin-ny-chin, I’ll blow you in“ And the twig house answered yes No one left but number Three To save the piglet family When they knock He fast unlocked And said “Come in with me!“ Now they all were safe inside And the bricks hurt wolfie’s pride So, he slid down the chimney And, oh, by Jimney In the fire he was fried Ha ha ha! The three little Free little pigs rejoice and laughed, ha ha! Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf Big bad wolf, big bad wolf? Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Tra la la la la Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf Big bad wolf, big bad wolf? Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Tra la la la la!
