Nice Song - Little Red Riding Hood - Sam the Sham

Initially thought was just another שיר עגבים but then looked at the lyrics and it's actually pretty profound! Similar themes can be found in Billy Joel and George Michael as well.

Essentially the struggle of every צדיק with a יצרא דעריות and an עץ הדעת.
אין אפוטרופוס לעריות ותרתי מעה דסוף קידושין

Owoooooooo!
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?Why, it's Little Red Riding
Hood.
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood,You sure are looking good.
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.

Listen to me.Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone.
Owoooooooo!

What big eyes you have,The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways.

What full lips you have.They're sure to lure someone bad.
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone.
Owoooooooo!

Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't.
Owoooooooo!

What a big heart I have-the better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to be satisfied
just to walk close by your side. [סוכה נב. אורחין רחיקא וצוותין בסימא]
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place.

Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want.
Owoooooooo!
I mean baaaaaa! Baaa?
