[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]

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 your eyes

You're paralyzed

[Chorus 1: Michael Jackson]

'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, yeah, ooh

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]

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 a creature creeping up behind

You're out of time

[Chorus 2: Michael Jackson]

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

There ain't no second chance

Against the thing with forty eyes, girl

Thriller (Woo-hoo), thriller night

You're fighting for your life

Inside a killer, thriller tonight

[Bridge: Michael Jackson]

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, ooh

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]

They're out to get you

There's demons closing in on every side, ooh

They will possess you

Unless you change that number on your dial

Now is the time

For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah

All through the night

I'll save you from the terror on the screen

I'll make you see

[Chorus 3: Michael Jackson]

That this is thriller, thriller night

'Cause I can thrill you more

Than any ghoul would ever dare try

Thriller (Woo-hoo), thriller night

So let me hold you tight

And share a killer, thriller, chiller

Thriller here tonight

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

Girl, I can thrill you more

Than any ghoul would ever dare try

Thriller (Woo-hoo), thriller night

So let me hold you tight

And share a killer, thriller, OW

[Outro: Michael Jackson & Vincent Price ]

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

Thriller, ooh, thriller

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

Oh darlin, I'm gonna thrill you tonight

Ooh baby, I'm gonna thrill you tonight

Oh darlin', thriller night, baby, ooh

The foulest stench is in the air

The funk of forty thousand years (Thriller night, thriller)

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 (I'm gonna thrill you tonight)

For no mere mortal can resist

The evil of the thriller
