A letra:
Clap
for the Wolfman
He gonna rate your record high
Clap for the
Wolfman
You gonna dig him 'til the day you die
Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna rate
your record high (mmh, yes gracious)
Clap for the Wolfman
You
gona dig him 'til the day you die
Doo Ron Ron and the Duke of Earl
They
were friend's of mine
And I was on my moonlight drive
Snuggled
in said, "Baby, just one kiss"
She said, "No, no,
no"
Romance ain't keepin' me alive
I said, "Hey babe, do you wanna
coo, coo, coo?"
She said, "Ah, ah, ah"
So I was
left out in the cold
I said, "You're what I've been dreaming
of"
She said, "I don't want to know"
(Oh you know, she was diggin' the cat on the radio)
Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna rate
your record high
(Yes baby, I your doctor love)
Clap for the
Wolfman
You gonna dig him 'til the day you die
(Heh heh,
everybody's talking about the Wolfman's "pompatous of love")
Seventy-five or eighty miles an
hour
She hollered, "Slow, slow, slow"
Baby, I can
stop right on a dime
I said, "Hey baby, give me just one
kiss"
She said, "No, no, no"
But how was I to
bide my time?
I said, "Hey babe, do you wanna coo, coo,
coo?"
He said "Ah, ah, ah"
Said, "I'm about
to overload"
I said "You're what I been living for"
She
said "I don't know want to know"
(Oh, you thought she was diggin' you but she was diggin' me)
Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna rate
your record high
(As long as you got the curves, baby, I got the
angles)
Clap for the Wolfman
You gonna dig him 'til the day you
die
(It's all according to how your boogaloo situation stands, you understand?)
Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna rate
your record high
(You ain't gonna get them, 'cause I got them, ha
yeah)
Clap for the Wolfman (oh)
You gon' dig him 'til the day
you die
(You might wanna try, but I gonna keep them)
Clap for the Wolfman (ain't that right
girls? Yes)
Clap for the Wolfman
Clap for the Wolfman
Clap
for the Wolfman
Clap for the Wolfman (and I got 'em all)
Clap
for the Wolfman (yes you go right on 'head and try)
Clap for the
Wolfman (I'm gonna say bye)
Clap for the Wolfman (you love him
don't you?)
Clap for the Wolfman (I love you)
Clap for the
Wolfman (come over here my precious little baby)
Clap for the
Wolfman (come here)...
