The Walls Came Crashing Down (4 of 14)

Post by lyle_from_minneapolis »

Here's #4 of 14 for F.A.W.M. (February is Album Writing Month), a collab with the Idea Guy, Greg Swartzentruber. Needs an electric guitar, but the gist is here:

The Walls Came Crashing Down


Little Red Riding Hood was dressed for fun
She was all tramped up in blue and white
The Three Little Pigs wined and dined her
They got her good and drunk that night

Naughty Red Riding Hood jumped up on the bar
Started grinding for those horny swine
They all were stuffing tips into her basket
That rider was dancing on a gold mine

We were all dancing when the walls came crashing down
All our piggy friends were passed out on the ground
We thought we were safe with our piggies all around
But sure enough, the walls came crashing down

The Big Bad Wolf cruised by the piggy’s pad
Heard the sounds come from inside
He peeked through the window, saw those happy laughing pigs
Drunk, fat and preoccupied

It ain’t hard to guess what a Big Bad Wolf would do
While Riding Hood was rolling in the hay
That Big Bad Wolf he huffed and then he puffed
And he blew that house of cards away

We were all dancing when the walls came crashing down
All our piggy friends were passed out on the ground
We thought we were safe with our piggies all around
But sure enough, the walls came crashing down

Bridge~
Fairy tale cops locked the whole crew up
Little Hood lost all her tips and had to stay in jail
While those pigs just grabbed some blackberries and kept on digging in
And waited till their uncle paid the bail

We were all dancing when the walls came crashing down
All our piggy friends were passed out on the ground
We thought we were safe with our piggies all around
But sure enough, the walls came crashing down

I don't know why, but I smiled right through this... There's a whole range of messages in there and just a great performance. You're starting to get me to really like this alt.country thang...

I'm not sure you need the electric...maybe some slide or a pedal steel?
