Chorus:
Awoo …… werewolves of London.
Awoo………………………………
Awoo …… werewolves of London.
Awoo………………………………

If you hear him howling around your kitchen door.
Better not let him in.
Little old lady got mutilated late last night.
Werewolves of London again.

Chorus, then solo

He is the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent.
Lately he’s been overheard in Mayfair.
Better stay away from him.
He’ll rip your lungs out, Jim.
I’d like to meet his tailor.

Chorus

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen.
Doing the werewolves of London.
Well, I saw Lon Chaney Junior walking with the Queen.
Doing the werewolves of London.
I saw a werewolf drinking a Pina Colada at Trader Vic’s.
        His hair was perfect!                           YIP!

Chorus with variations
                                                Draw blood.
