I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
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 mien
Ahhwooo, werewolves of London, Ahhwoo
Ahhwooo, werewolves of London, Ahhwoo
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated last night
Werewolves of London againChorus
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim
I'd like to meet his tailorChorus
Well, I saw Lon Cheney walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Cheney Jr. 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
Listen, Chorus
Phil Everly convinced Warren Zevon to write a Werewolf song (after he'd stayed up late watching a werewolf movie), so he wrote "Werewolves of London". Zevon came to really hate the song, because he worked his entire life to write serious hits, and this was the one that broke through.
