Werewolves of London - Lyrics

Halloween is coming you know, so looking for suitable Halloween Songs, suggestions welcome...  You can find me at The Gov on 30th October for the Big Halloween Fancy Dress Party.

Yes I know that "Technically" it is 1 day before Halloween but I got a Billy Bragg Gig to go to on the 31st.
