In the fields Along the Adriatic I saw thousands Of sunflowers A nation of sunflowers Belonging together
In my little garden At the back of my flat Where the light is dim Even in summer There came a guest A giant sunflower It grew facing the sunrise Taller than a man In summer I could hardly see Its orange and yellow face Then it was gone
It did not return next year It was as if it had been a ghost It was as if it had been on loan From a nation of sunlight And now its ghost Had gone back to where it belonged
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
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
Here’s another bogus funeral Slowly parading along the street The military pace of the attendants The black cloud of grief and relief I’m glad it’s not me the living will say As it disappears away, away
I buried a mouse in the garden with me When I was a child, when I was free What’s the difference between this and that? A long black car and a black top hat
