Lyrics:
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo

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

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo, hey

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
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Ah-hoo

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen, uh
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect
Na!

Ah-hoo, werewolves of London
Huh, draw blood
Ah-hoo, werewolves of London

The best song ever, it ticks all the boxes.

Still a great song in May 2024. Love it.👌

[forcewielder]

Interesting fact - the song actually started out as a joke (between Warren and Phil Everly, of The Everly Brothers fame), but wound up being the biggest hit of Warren's career.

" I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his Lol That's a bad ass beginning of a song!

[sisterearthful]

Besides my brother and my boyfriend, they use to howl like a Wolf, when this song would come on! I use to get so pissed when they did that! I love this song. It's a real classic for many years. I haven't heard this song for a long time. ❤

[jamesobrien]

The best "concert" I've ever been to was at Charlie Goodnights. Warren Zevon was playing. Mid nineties. Couldn't believe it. He was absolutely brilliant!!!

[dafunkester]

The colour of money what a film! Thanks for this.

[Kryptic]

One of my all-time favorite classic rock jams. It *never* gets old.
