When the Wolf Comes Knockin

(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.”]
