I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
walkin through the streets of Soho in the rain.
He was lookin for the place called Lee Ho Fooks, gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein.
Chorus:
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo(2x)
Ya hear him howlin around your kitchen door, ya better not let him in.
Little old lady got mutilated late last night, werewolves of London again.
Chorus 2x
He's the hairy, hairy 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.
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor.
Chorus 2x
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walkin with the queen, doing the werewolves of London.
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walkin with the queen, doin the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect.
What I find most upsetting about that pic is that they obviously learnt the poem from a They Might Be Giants song. There's no full stop, that line goes on, starving hysterical naked!

i learned the poem when i read it in high school. :(
but i admit the song came to mind while i was setting the text.
lol, did you do it yourself? Sorry, I thought it was some random internet pic. Let's just blame the song for inevitably imposing its rythm over the top of the poem. I can't help myself but stop at "hysterical" either now because of that song. Also it's the only part of the poem I can actually remember by heart. But I love the word naked being there. At uni I met a girl who made a t-shirt that said "Starving hysterical naked" in puff paint. I thought she was pretty cool.
That would be a good idea for a sub. Make an ironic Wolf shirt with the wolf howling the poem. But the Ginsberg estate probably owns the poem. Perhaps it's fair under parody, but it's more a parody of the wolf shirt than the poem, so it would probably get declined.
i agree it would be a good sub, but i don't know if i have the drawing chops to pull it off. i'm open to collabs, though, if someone else is good at drawing wolves.
