RETURN OF THE WEREWOLF'S TAILOR SHOP

In the twilight's dance, where moonbeams play,

A tailor's shop stands, hidden yet in view,

Where werewolves shed their skins at break of day.

Just west of Zombie Zoo, a path does sway,

And northeast of Frankenstein's, the wind blew,

In the twilight's dance, where moonbeams play.

The tailor's art, a skilled and curious display,

Seams mended with care, stitches threaded through,

Where werewolves shed their skins at break of day.

Transformed from beasts, their fears begin to sway,

As humans now stand, seeking something new,

In the twilight's dance, where moonbeams play.

Their clothes in tatters, they venture this way,

To the tailor's haven, where dreams come true,

Where werewolves shed their skins at break of day.

With gentle hands, the tailor mends dismay,

A place of solace, where pasts bid adieu,

In the twilight's dance, where moonbeams play,

Where werewolves shed their skins at break of day.
