It's close to midnight and somethin 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 that there's no where left [bad word] 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 a creature creepin' up behind
you're out of time

'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

Night creatures call
and the dead start to walk in their masquerade
there's no escaping 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 posses you unless you change the number on the dial
now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
all through the night I'll save you from the terror 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
