Lyrics In The Woods - Kadenzza

In The Woods

Once upon a time, there was a little girl
Who hadn’t seen her mother in seven years
Her mother had dressed her in iron clothes, saying…
«When you wear out these clothes, you may come to me»
The little girl rubbed her clothes on the wall trying to tear them
Finally she did.
She got some milk and bread…
And a little cheese and butter…
And set out for her mother’s house
In the woods she met a wolf
He asked her what she was carrying
«Milk and bread, and a little cheese and butter» she answered
The wolf asked for some…
But the girl said no, it was a present for her mother
The wolf asked whether she would take the path
Of pins or the path of needles…
The girl said the path of pins… so the wolf hurried off
Down the path of needles…
And ate up the little girl’s mother
Finally, the little girl reached her mother’s house
«Mother, unbar the door!»
«Just push on it, it’s not locked»… the wolf answered
But the door still wouldn’t open
So that she crept in through a hole
«Mother, I’m hungry»
«There's meat in the cupboard, eat some»
It was the flesh of her mother, killed by the wolf…
