chorus: 

Verse:
You hear him howlin' around your kitchen door.
You better not let him in.
Little old lady got mutilated late last night.
Werewolves of London again. 

He's been a heavy 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.

Didn't turn out like I thought it would.
But don't complain to me, that's the way it was written.
