The Werewolf Songtext
von Paul Simon

Milwaukee man led a fairly decent life
Made a fairly decent living, had a fairly decent wife
She killed him
Ah, sushi knife
Now they′re shopping for a fairly decent afterlife

The werewolf is coming

The fact is most obits are mixed reviews
Life is a lottery, a lotta people lose
And the winners, the grinners with money-colored eyes
Eat all the nuggets, then they order extra fries

The werewolf is coming (Extra fries)
The werewolf is coming
The werewolf's coming, the werewolf′s coming
Yes, the werewolf is coming, too
I hear her howling, prowling on the hills
The werewolf's coming, Bill


Ignorance and arrogance, a national debate
Put the fight in Vegas, that's a billion dollar gate
Revenue, pay per view, should be pretty healthy
The usual productions, then it all goes to the wealthy

Still, the werewolf′s coming
Eh, the werewolf′s coming

I'm not complaining, just the opposite, my friend
I know it′s raining, but we're coming to the end
Of the rainbow, of the lyin′ and the spyin' through
Oh, you don′t know me?
Okay, I don't know you, too

The werewolf's coming
Werewolf′s coming up
The werewolf′s coming, and the werewolf's coming
The werewolf is coming, too
I hear her howling, prowling on the hills
The werewolf′s coming, Bill

You better stock up on water
Canned goods off the shelves
And loot some for the old folks
Who can't loot for themselves


The doorbell′s ringing, could be the elves
But it's probably the werewolf
It′s quarter to twelve
And when it's midnight, and the wolf bites
It's a full moon, she really got the appetite

The werewolf′s coming
(The werewolf, the werewolf)
The werewolf′s coming (The werewolf)
(The werewolf)
