It's close to midnight
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

This is thriller, thriller night
And no-ones going to save you from the beast about to strike
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 escaping the jaws of the alien this time
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 that number on your dial

Now is it time
For you and I to cuddle close together
All through the night
I'll save you from the terrors on the screen
I'll make you see

It's thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can throw more than any ghoul would rather dare try
It's thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer chiller tonight

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorise your neighbourhood
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 fourty 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
