The Little Girl Who Cried Wolf

Remember the Little Boy who cried wolf?
Well, there's more than meets the eye
See, he wasn't a little boy at all
He, I mean she, was a girl who was shy

Everyone thought the girl was a dude
Maybe cause' her name was Steve
It always hurt the little girl's feelings
And she wiped her tears on her sleeve

Now, Steve had sworn to get revenge
The village would surely pay
What were they thinking calling her a dude?
For they did it most everyday

Now, Steve knew a wolf, who lived in the forest
And she crafted her master plan
She told the wolf she needed his help
For she knew he would understand

You see, that poor wolf was picked on too
So he knew of the little girl's pain
He agreed to help her seek her revenge
With nothing for him to gain

He'd sneak into the village
And leave a footprint or two
Then Steve would wake up early
(You know what she's gonna do)

Yep, you guessed it
She screamed as loud as she could
The villagers all came running
Just like she knew they would

"Wolf" she cried,
"He tried to take me away"
The villagers were all in a panic
They didn't know what to say

This went on for a week or so
Til soon, they stopped coming at all
Now, of couse, this didn't set good with Steve
And she simply thought, "what gall"

Now, they really didn't think she was lying
They thought the wolf was there
But if he ate some dude named Steve
Then who would really care

Steve grew up and moved away
And now lives in New York City
But don't feel sorry for Steve at all
For she doesn't want your pity

Well, that's the end of my story
And I thought I'd end it like this
Steve decided to become a man
And is now some dude named Chris
