It's close to midnight and something evil'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 sound 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 beast about to strike
            You know it's thriller, thriller night
            You're fighting for your life inside a killer, 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 is 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 killer, thriller tonight
             
            Night creatures call
            And 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 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 the terrors on the screen,
            I'll make you see
             
            That it's a thriller, thriller night
            'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
            Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
            So let me hold you tight and share a killer, 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)
