a concert on 1 September 1980.

[chorus]
You hear him howling around your kitchen door (note 2)
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated last night
Werewolves of London again (note 3)
[chorus]

Doing the werewolves of Broadway
I saw Bill Graham drinking a ...
Doing the werewolves of Broadway
