A funky old cat's just tryin' to make a living Singin' the blues in a dead-end bar A few was listening, most was a-talkin' There ain't a lot of action 'round the tip jar The bartender is an old Navy vet He says the V.A. ain't worth a goddamn The waitress's name is Maggie but they call her Black Betty Bam-ba-lam, bam-ba-lam Bikers wearing colors got outstanding warrants Are in a dark corner sellin' trucker speed At the back door which ain't ever been opened A criminal is dealing weed Ah-ooh The wolf is howling at the door Ah-ooh The old wolf really wants some more Now two old men in torn tank-tops Are dancing to a Jimmy groove Fallen from grace and long forgotten Showing no remorse for the teardrop tattoos A blond divorcée drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon Dresses as if she was Mamie van Doren Wants you to know that she's got some standards She'll take little gifts but she ain't whoring Ah-ooh The wolf is howling at the door Ah-ooh The old wolf really wants some more Ah-ooh The wolf is howling at the door Ah-ooh The old wolf really wants some more
