Intro 4 x Riff  

  

Verse 1 

Firelight in the forest clearing, being nosey creeping closer 

Naked witches round a fire, you guessed it wasn’t kosher 

A deep voice behind asks if you’d like to stay for dinner 

You say ‘Yes.’ He says ‘Good! For I like the taste of a sinner_’ 

Two! Three! Four! 

 

Chorus 

Run baby, run! Ever faster 

Little legs a-pumping hard, away from disaster 

Gotta run baby, run! Don’t stop to wait 

You know that behind you lays an awful bloody fate_ 

 

Verse 2 

Stopping at an oak tree by a lonely black-cold river 

Catch your breath, slow your heart, and remember with a shiver 

A deep voice behind asks if you’d like to escape the demon 

You say ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Sorry man, but you’re currently in season!’ 

Two! Three! Four! 

 

Chorus 

Run baby, run! Ever faster 

Little legs a-pumping hard, away from disaster 

Gotta run baby, run! Don’t stop to wait 

You know that behind you lays an awful bloody fate_ 

 

Bridge 

The woods are dark and empty, Feeling so tired and sweaty 

You turn to look the demon in the eye_ 

Nothing there behind you, but the sound of rustling leaves 

Try so hard to not fall down and cry_ 

Run baby, run, run baby, run 

Run baby, run, run baby, run 

Run baby, run, run baby, run 

Run baby, run, run baby, run 

​

Verse 3 

Then a deep voice behind asks if you’d like to hide from the devil 

You say ‘Yes.’ He said ‘Good! For you’re very near my kennel!’ 

Two! Three! Four! 

  

Chorus 

Run baby, run! Ever faster 

Little legs a-pumping hard, away from disaster 

Gotta run baby, run! Don’t stop to wait 

You know that behind you lays an awful bloody fate_ 

Two! Three! Four! 

 

Outro 

You gotta run baby, run_, Run baby, run_ 

You gotta run baby, run_, Run baby, run_ 

You gotta run baby, run_, Run baby, run_ 

You gotta run baby, run_, Run baby, run_
