Don't go hunting in the woods today
Old man winter is on his way
He wants to put you in his little maze
He'd like to keep you in a snow globe cage
Let me tell you what is good for you
I'll be the only wolf who'll tell you true
A little secret from the forest to you
It ain't winter and he's come too soon

Don't get lost in the fallin' snow
Don't you walk where the trees don't grow
Don't you open your mama's door
Well he'll follow tracks where you've been before
It's gonna be dark, I can tell by the coyote's bark
It's gonna be dark

Don't you walk down the path you know
A frozen breeze is sure to blow
Follow me into this wooded grove
Take this road through the tree stump hole
A little girl with a golden chain
Into my den, she found her way
She might up on a dinner tray
What happens next, well no one can say

Don't get lost in the fallin' snow
Don't you walk where the trees don't grow
Don't you open your mama's door
Well he'll follow tracks where you've been before
It's gonna be dark, I can tell by the coyote's bark
It's gonna be dark
