[Intro]
"And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller"

[Verse 1]
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 (ow, ah)
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes; you're paralyzed

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhere left to run (ow!)
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 (oh girl)
But all the while
You hear a creature creepin' up behind; you're out of time
[Chorus]
'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
This is thriller, thriller night
And 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 thriller
Toni-i-i-i---i--i---i-i-...
Tonight

[Outro]
"Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize your 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"
'Cause this is thriller
(Oh girl, tonight)
"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"
Tonight
