Lyrics:
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Not sure I told, but I really like your teeth
That hairy coat of yours with nothing underneath
Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
See where you‘re going, but I don‘t know where you‘ve been
Is that saliva or blood dripping off your chin?
If you don‘t like the name Keith, I‘ma call you… Jim
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wolf (banana)
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum,
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum

Yum, yum, yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum
yum
I like the scent of every meal on your breath
That hunger in you, I‘m in danger now, I guess
Lets go to grandma‘s, you say grandma taste the best
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf (I want your grandma yum yum)
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wolf
Someone give that wolf a banana
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum

That hairy coat of yours with nothing underneath
Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith
