Well, here goes. There was no way wolf was going to work with rhymes, so I tried a different animal.

My Bear

I would like to eat you, bear.
I want to swallow you whole.
I’m crazy hungry now, I swear,
to cook up a bear casserole.

First I’ll marinate you, bear,
whiskers singeing over my stove.
I’ll keep you simmering gently, with some care.
This recipe’s a treasure trove.

(Refrain)
Ah hou...hou hou hou hou hou hou
Sweet sweet honey, my bear, I love you.
Ah hou...hou hou hou hou hou hou
Sweet sweet honey, I love you.

I will savour you, my bear,
seasoned with bouquet garni.
I will stir your senses to despair
and melt you in my bain-marie.

I will chop you to bits, my bear,
strip you like orange peel.
That zesty skin you’ll no longer wear,
and no more hunger will I feel.

(Refrain)

Your salt and pepper mingle there
like sweet and sour with my angel-hair.

I will overstuff you, bear.
I want to get stuck in your crop.
Reset the table and whip out your pair... of chairs.
I’ll lay the fixings out on top.

You would like to dine elsewhere,
butter both sides of your bread?
Treat me like an hors d’oeuvre if you dare:
I’ll make you wish you were dead.

(Refrain)

Added in: audio link! And edited text above to match final version as discussed in post 6. I think you'll get an error when you click on the link, but if you click the download button for this file (Voice 003.m4a) and save it to disk it should play.
