The Lyrics

A humorous parody of the song and an attack on Chicago politics.

I saw a werewolf with a parking ticket book in his hand
Walking down Damen Avenue in the rain
He was looking to make the city a ton of loot
Gonna affix himself a big yellow Denver boot
Werewolves of Chicago

If you hear him howling around your wooden porch door
Better not let him in
Little wooden porch got collapsed late last night
Werewolves of Chicago again
Werewolves of Chicago

He's the money handed snoot who ran around South loop
Lately he's been over here in West Bucktown
Better stay away from him
He'll raise your property value
Huh, I'd like to meet his lawyer
Werewolves of Chicago

Well, I saw Mayor Daley walking with a Werewolf
Doing the werewolves of Chicago
I saw Mayor Daley Jr. walking with a werewolf
Doing the werewolves of Chicago
I saw a werewolf drinking a cosmo on the 95th floor
His hair was drenched
Werewolves of Chicago
Draw funds

Chicago's asinine,non-sensical political climate was one of the reasons I moved to Vegas over a year ago. Daley is so full of crap. Great job! BTW, maybe you could also write a parody about former Cicero Town President Betty Loren-Maltese

Great work! Attacking Chicago's $20M/year in parking revenue, attourneys raking in on faulty porches, the ever rising cost of living, and the two mayor who made it all possible. This parody would probabally make front page of the Tribune. -TG

Far from perfect, and a reference to the Cubbies, Da Bears, Al Capone (or the Untouchables) or the '68 cops would have helped. But Nice touch putting both Mayor Daleys in there and mentioning the restaurant on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Tower (a.k.a. Big John). Did you know the esteemed soon-to-be-late Mr. Zevon is a Chicagoan? Send it to him, he might enjoy it in his time of need. BTW, Tom, what's an "attourney"?

I do agree that references to the Sox/Cubs, the mafia, and the DNC would be great material, perhaps another parody is in order? However, this parody is a nice bite on very current issues that Chicago faces.
