It was released in 1998. I was reminded this song when telling my friend last 14 August 2023 on the story of fox with 3 piglets (highlighted lyrics in blue colour). He never heard of this folktale before. Maybe because he is Malaysian and this is England folktale.
Lyrics [1]:
… Oh-oh, hey, hey
Oh-oh, oh-oh
… I say, hey boy, sittin' in your tree
Mummy always wants you to come for tea (oh-oh)
Don't be shy, straighten up your tie
Get down from your treehouse, sittin' in the sky (oh-oh)
… I wanna know just what to do
Is it very big? Is there room for two? (oh-oh)
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine, if you show me yours
… Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey
Let the fun begin, hey
I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away
… Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me (say you will)
C'est la vie
… Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me (get a life!)
C'est la vie
… Do you play with the girls, play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys? (oh-oh)
We can talk, we can sing
I'll be the queen and you'll be the king (oh-oh)
… Hey boy, in your tree
Throw down your ladder, make a room for me (oh-oh)
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
… Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey
Let the fun begin, hey
I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away
… Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me (say you will, yeah)
C'est la vie
… Say you will, say you won't (oh, say you will)
Say you'll do what I don't (say you will)
Say you're true, say to me (what are you like?)
C'est la vie
… Hey, hey
Na-na-na, hey
Na-na-na, oh
Na-na-na, hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey
… Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't (say you will)
Say you're true, say to me
Wanna say, c'est la vie
… Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me (say you will)
(Fight like me dad as well) C'est la vie
… Na-na-na, hey
Na-na-na, oh (c'est la vie)
Na-na-na, hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey (c'est la vie)
