about

our first official "halloween" tune! Very fitting for the Oct 31st release of this CD. Craig & Gary wrote this some years back after watching "American Werewolf in London". The song was later used on the soundtrack of "Virginia Creepers", a documentary about late-night TV horror show hosts in Virginia. Featuring a young Rebekah Gribik as the terrified female at the end!

Wolfman Told Me Tonight

---------------------------------
Late at night I saw him He was running from the edge of the town, (oh no!)
Never turning back He was running really close to the ground, (oh no!)
Looking kinda different He was holding something under his arm, (oh no!)
Then he saw me watching and screamed, A heart alive with alarm, (oh no!)

Wolfman told me tonight, please stay close to the light
I was laughing, but he was shaking out loud (so loud!)
Wolfman told me tonight, please don’t beg for a bite
Wolfman told me, wolfman told me, Wolfman told me tonight

Standing in a playground, I saw a little boy in a scuff, (so rough!)
All the kids around him He was looking terrifyingly tough, (so rough!)
When I went to ask him How he got to be a terror so you, (so young!)
Felt a little scary I was staring at the blood on his tongue, (so young!)

Wolfman told me tonight, please stay close to the light
I was laughing, but he was shaking out loud (so loud!)
Wolfman told me tonight, please don’t beg for a bite
Wolfman told me, wolfman told me, Wolfman told me tonight

I can still remember when he was just a little cub
His parents used to worry But they really didn’t know the rub
They don’t know how it happened Exactly when th change took place
But the doctors all agreed It certainly was a special case

Better get a’ going ‘cause I thought I heard him out on the prowl (oh no!)
Standing in a footstep, I was shaken by the sound of a howl (oh no!)
Heading for a house on the hill, I saw a light on inside (oh no!)
Thought I’d try and make it but he’s gaining With an eye on my hide (oh no!)
