There once was a boy who worked on a farm
Guarding all the sheep from harm
One night he found himself bored and alone
Opened up Twitter on his iPhone
Fishing for followers, he trolled for concern
A big bad wolf is stalking my herd
No one knew the boy was pretendin'
#SaveTheSheep started trending

And the boy blew his whistle - Tweet, Tweet
And the people all took to the street, street
But when they arrived, they knew he had lied
Thе sheep had survived, he's a cheat, chеat!

Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
(woof, woof, woof woof)
(woof, woof, woof woof)

The boy realized that they
Believed all his lies
So he covered it up with alibis
He went to the web where the fake news is fed
And he started to preach with worldwide reach
Now the boy's gone viral, yes indeed
Landing him a job at Buzzfeed
Editor and chief of livestock-relations
A voice for the sheep in urban locations
Well, the boy went live for maximal rage
He posted on his Facebook page
Now he's king of the fake news nation
Clickbait ads blog masturbation

And the boy blew his whistle - Tweet, Tweet
And the people all took to the street, street
But when they arrived, they knew he had lied
The sheep had survived, he's a cheat, cheat!

Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
(woof, woof, woof woof)
(woof, woof, woof woof)

Tweet, tweet - I say what I want to
Woof woof, I howl 'cuz I have to
Tweet, tweet - I say what I want to
Woof woof, I howl 'cuz I have to
Tweet, tweet - I say what I want to
Woof woof, I howl 'cuz I have to
Tweet, tweet - I say what I want to
Woof woof, I howl 'cuz I have to

Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
Oh, the boy who cried wolf (woof, woof)
(woof, woof, woof woof)
(woof, woof, woof woof)
