Well, it should be pretty obvious that this song has almost nothing to do with literal werewolves, and everything to do with a predatory mindset, but that doesn’t keep it from weirding my mother out every time I play it!
lyrics
A couple of vagabonds walking on a werewolf night
Taking a casual howl in the moonlight
Vinnie says to Judas
“I’d like to sharpen up my claws
Find someone tough to test my jaws”
A couple of predators walking on a werewolf night
Taking the measure of all the prey in sight
When Danny comes round the corner
They know he fills the bill
And they’ll tear him to pieces, they surely will
Chorus:
Singin’
You’d better watch out
And you’d better be wise
Cuz there’s a couple of werewolves
Looking to take you down to size
And you’d better watch out
And you’d better be smart
Cuz there’s a couple of werewolves
Looking to eat your foolish heart
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
A couple of fugitives running on a werewolf night
Been running ever since they took that last bite
Judas says to Vinnie
“This is what it’s all about
Living the good life and letting it all hang out”
A couple of carnivores running on a werewolf night
Looking for a place to start a bit of a dogfight
Before the sun rises
There’s so much they have to do
So many things to kill
So many bones to chew
Chorus:
Singin’
You’d better watch out
And you’d better be wise
Cuz there’s a couple of werewolves
Looking to take you down to size
And you’d better watch out
And you’d better be smart
Cuz there’s a couple of werewolves
Looking to tear your ass apart
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
On a werewolf night
Ah-oooo
Werewolves of (insert location here)
Ah-oooo
