[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino]
It's close to midnight
Something evil's lurking from the dark
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream (Scream)
But terror takes the sound before you make it, yeah yeah
You start to freeze (Freeze)
As horror looks you right between your eyes
You're paralyzed

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino & Dan Sugarman, All]
'Cause this is thriller (Thriller)
Thriller night
And no one's gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller (Thriller)
Thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer thriller tonight

[Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Ricky Armellino]
You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhere left to run
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes (Eyes)
And hope that this is just imagination, yeah, yeah
Girl, but all the while
You hear a creature creeping up behind (Creature behind)
You're out of time
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino & Dan Sugarman, All]
'Cause this is thriller (Thriller)
Thriller night
And no one's gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller (Thriller)
Thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer thriller tonight

[Bridge: Spencer Charnas]
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize your neighborhood
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Ricky Armellino & Dan Sugarman]
'Cause this is thriller, (Thriller)
Thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul could ever dare try
Thriller, (Thriller)
Thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller, chiller
[Outro: Spencer Charnas]
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grisly 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
Mm-mm-mm-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
