WEREWOLVES OF SELBY
I'm afraid the werewolf I got to do the howling had a bit of a sore throat.
I was walking by the cut in West Haddlesey
I saw 2 pairs of red eyes staring straight at me
The moon was bright and full. What could they be?
I’ve read about that stuff that goes bump in the night
And things that aren’t quite dead with a niche appetite
Whose smile is enough to give a dentist a fright
Ow-oooooo. Werewolves of Selby
Ow-oooooo.
Ow-oooooo. Werewolves of Selby
Ow-oooooo.
Lon Chaney, Boris Karloff - they are both much the same
And others of that genre of a similar vein
I find them all to be such a pain in the neck
I like my ogres green and friendly like Shrek.
Ow-oooooo. Werewolves of Selby
Then one set of eyes made a low guttural growl
The other called its mate with a blood-curdling howl
The fog swirled all around with a fetor most foul
Their eyes encircled me in a threatening prowl
Ow-oooooo. Werewolves of Selby
Then slowly they appeared emerging out of the mist
Not two wolves at all but two exhibitionists
“Want some fun with my wife?” asks one naked hedonist.
Ow-oooooo. Doggers of Selby
Ow-oooooo.
Ow-oooooo. Doggers of Selby
Ow-oooooo.

When the swing bridge was a toll bridge until a few years ago, MC, many a motorist considered Selby a kind of hell.
