Warren Zevon — Werewolves of London Preludes
[Intro]
Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well
[Verse 1]
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Was walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein
[Chorus]
(Ah-ooh) Werewolves of London
(Ah-ooh) Hey, werewolves of London
(Ah-ooh) Werewolves of London
(Ah-ooh) Werewolves of London
[Verse 2]
If you hear him howling 'round your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
He's a hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent
And lately, he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
Ah-ha, I'd like to meet his tailor
[Chorus]
(Ah-ooh) Werewolves of London
(Ah-ooh) Werewolves of London
(Ah-ooh) Werewolves of London
(Ah-ooh) Werewolves of London
[Verse 3]
(Ah-ooh) I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
(Ah-ooh) They were doin' the werewolves of London (Hey!)
(Ah-ooh) I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen now
(Ah-ooh) They were doin' the werewolves of London, ha
(Ah-ooh) I saw George Zucco walking with the Queen now
(Ah-ooh) Ha, they were doing the werewolves of London
(Ah-ooh) I saw Hugh Gibbons walking with the Queen now
(Ah-ooh) Ha, they were doing the werewolves of London, yeah
(Ah-ooh) I saw Oliver Reed walking with Glenda Jackson
They were doing nothing, ha
(Ah-ooh) I saw Jack Nicholson at a high class Hollywood party, y'all
Nah, nah, nah, they were up their nose
(Ah-ooh) God, I'm hosed, what a joke
Go for broke, take a toke
(Ah-ooh) I'll see you in then minutes, baby, ha
(Ah-ooh) I dreamed I saw Joe Tex
He was doin' the werewolves of London
(Ah-ooh) And it felt so good, so good, ha
(Ah-ooh) Bite down, baby, draw blood
