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 Fooks
For to get a big dish of beef chow mein

Ah-hooo, werewolves of London
Ah-hooo
Ah-hooo, werewolves of London
Ah-hooo

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-hooo, werewolves of London
Ah-hooo
Ah-hooo, werewolves of London
Ah-hooo
Hunh

He's the hairy-handed gent
Who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
Hunh, I'd like to meet his tailor

Ah-hooo, werewolves of London
Ah-hooo
Ah-hooo, werewolves of London
Ah-hooo

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Junior walking with the Queen, uh!
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a Piña Colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect
Na!

Ah-hooo
Werewolves of London
Heh, draw blood
Ah-hooo
Werewolves of London

Will always remind me of being 16, riding in Johnny and Danny Madrid's mom's plush Olds 98, widows down, volume up, beers in hand, joint going 'round, flying about 90 or so, coming back from the lake, all of us singing, "Ahh-HOOO!" --Huh...draw blood! RIP J&D!

I named my dog Zevon, which may give a hint as to the score I assigned this song.

Makes me smile every time. 
I play in a covers band and put the “Ahoooo”s into any song I can - “Take the money and run” and (of course) “Sweet Home Alabama” being two current songs.

Why on an LP full of great tunes you choose the most commercial song I can't fathom? It's not horrible but every other tune on the LP is better than this one.

38.. What is it with famous musos and dying young. It's not always smack addictions etc. I think part of it is the shit food that's available for touring musicians , grabbing fast food instead of having decent fresh cooked food. We think it'll do us no harm to live on the sugar laden crap for a few months, but it's going to take it's toll. The SAD diet has got a lot to answer for. It's a worse pandemic than covid by far, and it's killed many more people and will still do every year.

I agree with some others here that Warren's disdain for this song is unfounded.  He may have some misguided romantic idea that he'd rather be a starving artist or something but he did this song quite well.  And, it isn't really pop fluff.  Other forgettable songs of the time were but not this one.  He added some subtle coolness to this when he sings near the end "Draw blood!"

With all respect due to Mr. Zevon, that is (was) his problem, not mine.  It obviously struck a chord with a lot of people.  Yes it's a piece of pop fluff.  But it's well written and performed pop fluff, and that's not a bad thing.

He performed it before being asked at an acoustic concert I saw a long time ago - basically saying it was his cross to bear.  Great show.

I'd love to hear things from his "The Wind" CD - the last thing he recorded before he died. He had SO much fun on that one - Bruce Springsteen winging the harmony vocal to "Disorder in the House" and Warren's somber, sweet ode to his wife on "Keep Me In Your Heart...."  I HATE it that he's gone...  I'm going to have to go back through my Zevon library and find new gems, because the old ones are just too much a part of me now...

Summer of '78...Danny M is driving his mom's luxe Olds 98...he's a year older than me...his younger brother John is next to him in the front seat; he's a year younger than me...we all know each other from Boy Scouts and through the same school and church; we're doing maybe 90 or more miles an hour, flying along, headed back into town from the wilds out by a lake...this comes on, and we decide we ain't ready to go home just yet...we light another one and pop open some more cheap beer...I'm in the back seat, and the speakers are CRANKED, and I can feel the worries of my mind slipping out the window like the bluish smoke we had pressurized the cabin with...and I like it! 
Sadly, Danny left us all behind a year or more ago, so whenever I hear this song, I REMEMBER...  Thanks, RP!

While this song holds a special place in my memory, I must agree with other commentors: Mr. Zevon had many other tunes that equal or better this one.  That is, of course, if you have a really twisted sense of humor.

Ah college life!  No matter how old you are you, hopefully, have good memories like this that always bring a smile to your face.

And the earlier poster who said this song is a solid 7 "quite likeable" is right on.  Lighten up folks, it doesn't make you less a musicologist to admit that this is a fun song.
