When the moon comes up and the lights go down,
There's a whisper on the streets of this old town
They talk about a shadow slick as night
A wolf in the dark hidden from the light
He's got a sharp smile but you'll never see
He moves through the crowd fast and free
In the smoky haze where the music swings
The Wolf in the Dark knows all the strings
He's the Wolf in the Dark with a devilish charm
Dressed to the nines but he'll do you harm
In the rhythm of the night he makes his mark
You better watch out for the Wolf in the Dark
He'll glide on by with a wink and a grin
But don't let him fool you or you'll get pulled in
The band's playing hot the floor's alive
But he's got his eyes on the next big dive
In every corner there's a secret to tell
The Wolf in the Dark knows them all too well
He's the Wolf in the Dark with a devilish charm
Dressed to the nines but he'll do you harm
In the rhythm of the night he makes his mark
You better watch out for the Wolf in the Dark
The trumpet wails the sax starts to moan
But the Wolf in the Dark moves all alone
So if you're ever out where the big bands play
Keep an eye on the shadows where the wolves stay
In the flicker of the light he'll make his spark
But don't get caught by the Wolf in the Dark
