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

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 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 the
creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance
against the thing with forty eyes Girl

You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting to survive inside
a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in
their masquerade

There's no escapin' the jaws
of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of yout life

They're out to get you, there's
demons closing in on every side

They will possess you unless
you change the number on your dial

Now is the time for you and I to
cuddle close together

All thru the night I'll save you
from the terrors 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
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,

I'm gonna be tonight

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
