Lyrics
(Intro)
Upright bass walking fast, clarinet glissando, wild muted trumpet hits
Big band horns blast in, snare rolls, tap-dancing rhythm on cymbals
“Ladies and gents… let’s give a howl to the star of the night!”
(Verse 1)
Electro swing beat, honky-tonk piano, slap bass, kazoo backing line
Well I crept up cool in a lavender vest
Had a rose in my mouth and a lie on my chest
Seven kids inside, thinkin’ they’re slick
But ol’ Wolfie’s got rhythm—and one nasty trick
(Verse 2)
Slide trombone slides, cartoon xylophone, boingy FX
I wore flour on my fur, got my voice real high
“Please let me in,” said I sweet as pie
But under this wig is a snarl and grin
Open that door and I’m dancin’ right in!
(Pre-Chorus)
Scat chorus, jazzy organ, cowbell groove
Oh I don’t huff, I don’t puff, I just jazz it up
With a tap and a clap and a swing in my strut
They say beware—but I bring the beat
Even grandma would groove from her cozy seat
(Chorus)
Big band blaring, banjo strumming, synth brass punching, kazoo counter-melody
When the wolf comes knockin’—ba-da-ba-doom!
The chandeliers shake and I light up the room
I twirl, I spin, I cha-cha with doom
And BOOM! I break into your nursery room!
When the wolf comes knockin’—tap shoes on fire!
I’m the bassline devil and a one-man choir
With a flute in my tail and a beatbox bark
I’m the fairy tale’s jazziest spark!
(Verse 3)
Tempo doubles, drums go swing-crazy, clarinet solos with kazoo duet
So I snapped and I popped with a trumpet in tow
Jumped through the curtains like a vaudeville show
The kids went wild, “It’s a musical fiend!”
And I bowed real deep with my dancing spleen
(Bridge – Funk Breakdown)
Synth bass drops, electric guitar wah-wah, funk slap solo with goat bleats as FX
You see, I ain’t bad—I’m misunderstood
Just a jiving outlaw in your neighborhood
I croon with chaos, I dance with flair
And I beatbox the moon like I just don’t care
(Final Chorus)
EVERYTHING COMES IN: big band, swing, funk, jazz, kazoo army
When the wolf comes knockin’—watch that floor!
I’ll moonwalk through your fairy tale door
With a hat, a cane, and a trombone’s growl
I’m the twistin’, shoutin’, hoof-shakin’ howl!
When the wolf comes knockin’—the curtains rise!
With a jazzy flash in my sneaky eyes
No villain, no monster—just the king of swing
When I knock… the whole forest sings!
(Outro)
Sax solo, confetti FX, tap dance fading out, kazoo “howl”
Whispered: “Next time… bring a conga line.”
