"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" is a popular song written by Frank Churchill with additional lyrics by Ann Ronell, which originally featured in the 1933 Disney cartoon Three Little Pigs, where it was sung by Fiddler Pig and Fifer Pig (voiced by Mary Moder and Dorothy Compton) as they arrogantly believe their houses of straw and twigs will protect them from the Big Bad Wolf (voiced by Billy Bletcher). The song's theme made it a huge hit during the 1930s and it remains one of the most well-known Disney songs, being covered by numerous artists and musical groups. Additionally, it was the inspiration for the title of Edward Albee's 1963 play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf The big bad wolf The big bad wolf Who's afraid of the big bad wolf Tra la la la la Long ago there were three pigs Little handsome piggy wigs For the big, bad the very big, very bad wolf, They did not give three figs Number one was very gay And he built his house with hay With a hey hey toot he blew on his flute And he played around all day Now number two was fond of jigs And so he built his house with twigs Hey, diddle diddle he played on his fiddle And danced with lady pigs Number three said: "nix on tricks, I shall build my house with bricks!" He had no chance to sing or dance, 'cause work and play don't mix Ha, ha, ha, the two little do-little pigs Just winked and laughed ah! woo! Who's afraid of the big bad wolf The big bad wolf The big bad wolf Who's afraid of the big bad wolf Tra la la la la Came the day when fate did frown And a wolf blew into town With a gruff huff puff, he puffed just enough And the hay house fell right down! One and two were scared to death Of the big bad wolfy's breath By the hair of your chinny chin i'll blow you in And the twig house answered yes No one left but number three To save that piglet family So when they knocked, he fast unlocked And said come in with me Now they all were safe inside But the bricks hurt wolfy's pride So, he slid down the chimney and oh by jiminey In a fire he was fried Oh oh oh, the three little free little pigs Just winked and laughed... ah! woo! Who's afraid of the big bad wolf The big bad wolf The big bad wolf Who's afraid of the big bad wolf Tra la la la la Tra la la tra la la Tra la la la la la la la la la la! Who's afraid of the big, big, big, Bad woooooooooooooooooooolf!
