It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight u see a sight that almost stops your heart
u try to scream but terror takes the sound before u make it
u start to freeze as horror looks u right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save u from the beast about to strike
u know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for life inside a killer, thriller tonight

u hear a door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
u feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
u close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while u hear the creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no seconde chance against the thing with forty eyes
u know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting to survive inside a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call
The dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide)
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess u unless u change the number on your dial
Now is the time for u and I to cuddle close together
All thru the night I'll save u from the terrors on the screen
I'll make u see

That it's a thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill u meer than any ghost who would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold u tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight

Rap:(by Vincent Price
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight uur is close at hand
Creatures crawl in zoek of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to zeehond, seal your doom
And though u fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
(laughter)
