it''s close to midnight and something evi
l''s lurking in the dark

under the moonlight you see a sight that
almost stops your heart

you try to scream but terror takes the s
ound before you make it

you start to freeze as horror looks you
right between the eyes,
you''re paralyzed

''cause this is thriller, thriller night

and no one''s gonna save you from the bea
st about to strike
you know it''s thriller, thriller night

you''re fighting for your life inside a k
iller,thriller tonight


you hear the door slam and realize there
''s nowhere left to run

you feel the cold hand and wonder if you
''ll ever see the sun

you close your eyes and hope that this i
s just imagination

but all the while you hear the creature
creepin'' up behind
you''re out of time

''cause this is thriller, thriller night

there ain''t no second chance against the
thing with forty eyes
you know it''s thriller, thriller night

you''re fighting for your life inside a k
iller,thriller tonight

night creatures call

and the dead start to walk in their masq
uerade

there''s no escapin'' the jaws of the alie
n this time
(they''re open wide)
this is the end of your life


they''re out to get you, there''s demons c
losing in on every side

they will possess you unless you change
the number on your dial

now is the time for you and i to cuddle
close together

all thru the night i''ll save you from th
e terrors on the screen,
i''ll make you see

that it''s a thriller, thriller night

''cause i can thrill you more than any gh
ost would dare to try
girl, this is thriller, thriller night

so let me hold you tight and share a kil
ler, diller, chiller,
thriller here tonight

(rap performed by vincent price)
darkness falls across the land
the midnite hour is close at hand
creatures crawl in search 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 seal your doom
and though you fight to stay alive
your body starts to shiver
for no mere mortal can resist
the evil of the thriller
(into maniacal laugh, in deep echo)
