It's close to midnight
 something evil's lurkin' 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
 
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
 Girl, but all the while
 You hear a creature creepin' up behind
 You're outta time
 
'Cause this is thriller!
 Thriller night!
 There ain't no second chance
 to fight the thing with the forty eyes, girl
 (Thriller...)
 (Thriller night!)
 You're fighting for your life
 Inside a killer
 Thriller tonight
 
They're out to get you
 There's demons closing in on every side
 They will possess you
 Unless you change that number on your dial
 Now is the time
 For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
 All through the night
 I'll save you from the terror on the screen
 I'll make you see
 
That this is thriller!
 Thriller night!
 'Cause I can thrill you more
 Than any ghost would ever dare try
 (Thriller...)
 (Thriller night!)
 So let me hold you tight
 And share a
 killer, diller, chiller
 Thriller here tonight
 
 Darkness falls across the land
 The midnight hour is close at hand
 Creatures crawl in search of blood
 To terrorize y'all's neighborhood
 And those whoever 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's 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!!!
