Werewolf at the High School

Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] They pinned a paper moon above the gym And Bobby brought a corsage on a whim I borrowed Dad’s blue jacket, combed my hair Then heard the full moon calling from the fair [Chorus] I’m a werewolf at the high school prom My tie is tight, my paws are strong You asked me for a dance beneath the crepe-paper stars Now I’m howling through the punch bowl, tearing up the floor I’m a werewolf at the high school prom [Verse 2] The band struck up a sweet old slow-dance tune My sideburns started growing past my ears too soon You laughed and said, “That look becomes you, dear” I tried to hide my fangs behind a souvenir [Chorus] I’m a werewolf at the high school prom My tie is tight, my paws are strong You asked me for a dance beneath the crepe-paper stars Now I’m howling through the punch bowl, tearing up the floor I’m a werewolf at the high school prom [Saxophone Break] [Bridge] The principal came running with the trophy in his hand The chaperones all scattered when I joined the swingin’ band But you just fixed my boutonniere and said, “Don’t miss the bus” Then moonlight hit the window—and the whole room howled with us [Final Chorus] I’m a werewolf at the high school prom My tie is tight, my paws are strong You asked me for a dance beneath the crepe-paper stars Now we’re howling through the punch bowl, tearing up the floor I’m a werewolf at the high school prom Yes, a werewolf at the high school prom! [Outro] Awooo—save me one slow dance!
