Capo 4
Cruel, cruel moon
Please donât come out tonight
âCause when you do, my Emily Lou
And me are gonna have a fight
They say the full moonâs meant for lovers
But youâre gonna break my heart
âCause when you shine
That baby of mine
Will turn into a werewolf
And rip out my throat and kill me
Four weeks ago me and Emily Lou
We were on a Northern England tour
Late one night
Against advice
We went aâ walkinâ on the moors
She thought she saw a doggy
Underneath the full moonâs light
But when she tried to pet that doggy
It gave her a nasty bite
Didnât think too much about it
âTill this morning when I read
There was some kind of monster out last night
And eighteen folks were dead
My baby slept there next to me
With blood caked in her claws
Tattered clothing, guts and entrails
Clenched between her jaws
Cruel, cruel moon
Please donât come out tonight
âCause when you do, my Emily Lou
And me are gonna have a fight
They say the full moonâs meant for lovers
But youâre gonna break my heart
âCause when you shine
That baby of mine will
Turn on me and rip my lungs out
And julienne my liver
( )
Every time you think you know someone
Thatâs when they change again
So Mr. Moon, can you help me out
Of this doggone fix Iâm in?
I locked my baby in the bat
And reinforced the door
But when sheâs done lycanthropizing
Sheâs gonna settle up the score
My fingerâs on the trigger
Of this gun full of silver bullets
But Mr. Moon, I love my Emily Lou
Too much to pull it
My daylightâs runninâ out soon
And this door wonât hold for long
One last chance now, Mr. Moon
Wonât you listen to my song?
Cruel, cruel moon
Please donât come out tonight
âCause when you do, my Emily Lou
And me are gonna have a fight
They say the full moonâs meant for lovers
But youâre gonna break my heart
âCause when you shine
That baby of mine
Will painfully transform
Just like that guy from An American Werewolf in London
Then sheâll tear my eyeballs from their sockets
Then I wonât see my baby anymore
