I guess you don't have to go out If you really don't wanna go out But you could use a walk And lift those shoulders up too Like you wanna Make sure those fangs are showin And greet 'em with a grin that glows red With total radiance Just keep the gradient tuned And keep it on 'em (ahhhh ahhh) Easier said It's different to do it The thought was well meant But it's different to do it Yourself You used to be a wolf in sheep skin clothes Where did the wolf Where did the wolf Where did the wolf go Well god only knows Something's out there singing like a kettle Something's howlin out in the backyard That rotten ring shrieks so sour, so unsettled Something's howlin out in the backyard Could be sheets of metal all whistlin together Something's howlin out in the backyard And the song it sings tells of demons and of devils Something's howlin out in the backyard And the light that shines from a belly bright yellow Brings (ah) creatures of the night out to bellow To wince and to bark, to coo and to caw To treat you as the yellow-bellied dweller that you are Oh, something's out there screaming like a kettle Something's howlin out in the backyard A racket, a racket, uproarious revel! Something's howlin out in the backyard Could be throat-worn ghosts, lost stalking rebels Something's howlin out in the backyard With one voice raised as a devistating treble Something's howlin out in the backyard And I haven't seen the (ah) wolf in ages now Not even when the mynah birds come calling out You used to have a howl that sent shivers through town You can hardly get a wimper out now Where did the wolf Where did the wolf Where did the wolf go? Well god only knows
