I'm a Werewolf, Baby Lyrics

The moon comes up, I start to sweat
call the doctor, call the vet
my brain goes numb, my blood gets hot
all I need is what you got

I'm a werewolf, baby, and here I come
I'm a werewolf, baby, and here I come

I lose control, I just can't stop
you look so good like a big pork chop
ripped my pants, ripped my shirt
I'm gonna eat your mother for dessert

I can smell your blood, I can hear you breathe
I'm gonna eat your heart right off your sleeve
eat you cooked, eat you raw
I'm gonna rip you up like a big chain saw

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

There is a really good version of this Live on Kazaa. Gord sang it with the hip durring a small concert when the hip was just starting out. He talks about how "24 years ago his old man was in a bar in toronto and some joker put about 30 amphetimines in his drink when he wasn't looking. when he was off to the bathroom or something. and his dad went back home and his mother was kinda sittin there, and his dad didn't really feel like sleeping. 24 years later "I'm a werewolf baby!"
