Hello, yes it is me, I am high up in a tree
While I am drawing in my book, I saw Little Red Ridding Hood
She took my Smiggle pencil case, and then I challenged her in a race
Oh I wish she wasn't so fast at all, because compared to her I am so small
Maybe I will get my stuff back, and stick her to a tree with blue tack.
Hopefully you understand, that this whole thing is getting out of hand
I am still hanging from that same old tree, while that same thought comes to me
Hopefully it won't happen again, otherwise i'll need you with one hundred men
To defeat her and her riding crew, we will need both me and you
All my friends are there to help, and if they're stuck you'll hear a yelp
So that's the end of my story today - so lets get down and go to play.
