Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Not sure I told you, but I really like your teeth
That hairy coat of yours with nothing underneath
Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
See where you′re going, but I don't know where you′ve been
Is that saliva or blood drippin' off your chin?
If you don't like the name Keith I′ma call you Jim
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wolf (Banana)
Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
(Banana)
I like the scent of every meal on your breath
That hunger in you, I′m in danger now, I guess
Let's go to grandma′s, you say grandma taste the best
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf (I want your grandma, yum, yum)
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wolf
Someone give that wolf a banana
Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Someone give that wolf a banana

The lyrics to Subwoolfer's song "Give That Wolf A Banana" are a playful and humorous twist on the classic fairytale "Little Red Riding Hood." The song features the singer addressing a potential wolf and expressing admiration for their physical features, such as their teeth and "hairy coat." The lyrics continue with the singer questioning where the wolf has been and if the saliva or blood on their chin is from a recent meal. They jokingly suggest naming the wolf Keith or Jim before ultimately pleading for someone to give the wolf a banana to distract them from eating their grandma.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on superficiality and the dangers of being too trusting or naive. The singer is so focused on their intrigue with the wolf's appearance that they fail to recognize the danger the wolf poses to themselves and their grandmother. The repetition of the phrase "give that wolf a banana" highlights the absurdity of trying to distract a carnivorous animal with a piece of fruit.
