[Verse 1]
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hands
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook
Get himself a plate of beef chow mein
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
Oh ya
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
[Verse 2]
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip out your lungs, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
Ugh
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
I'm gonna breathe
[Bridge]
Ugh ugh ugh
Ugh ugh ugh
Ugh ugh ugh
Ugh ugh ugh
[Verse 3]
You hear him howling around your kitchеn door
You better not let him in
Littlе old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
[Verse 4]
I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
And they were doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
And they were doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Jack Nicholson drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect
Now I was sitting in the booth right across from him
Dressed in my finest polyester
I had just ordered some natto maki
Any my hair was, well
Very very greasy
Very very greasy
Very very greasy
Very greasy indeed
Very very greasy
It's kinda like shellac
Way too greasy
So now I want everybody to howl
Are you ready?
Here we go
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
Lovely
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
One more time
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hands
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook
Get himself a plate of beef chow mein
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
Oh ya
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
[Verse 2]
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip out your lungs, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
Ugh
Ah-ooh, werewolves of London
I'm gonna breathe
[Bridge]
Ugh ugh ugh
Ugh ugh ugh
Ugh ugh ugh
Ugh ugh ugh
