[Spoken Intro]

One and two and three and four

One two three four

[Verse 1]

In the moonlight

Fighting with the night

It's a rip-off

Kissing all the slain

I'm bleeding in the rain

It's a rip-off, oh

Such a rip-off

[Verse 2]

Rocking in the nude

I'm feeling such a dude

It's a rip-off

Dancing in the dark

With the tramps in the Park

It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off, yeah!

[Verse 3]

See your baby's stud

Sliding in my mud

It's a rip-off

Bleached on the beach

I want to tickle your peach

It's a rip-off, yeah!

[Verse 4]

See the girl dance

In her man-skin pants

Such a rip-off

Terraplane Tommy

Wants to bang your gong

It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off, oh!

[Verse 5]

Gypsy girl's good

People treat her like a fool

She's a rip-off

The President's weird

He's got burgundy beard

It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off

[Bridge]

I'm the King of the highway

I'm the Queen of the hop

You should see me

At the Governor's ball

Doing the rip-off bop

I'm a social person

I'm the creature in disguise

There's a man with a whip

On his silver lip

Living inside my eyes

I'm the cat from the alley

I'm the fleet foot voodoo man

There's very little that's ever said

All of which I understand

[Verse 6]

Caught like a skunk

In space and time

It's a rip-off

If it's hers

Well it must be mine

It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off, wow!

Oh, my God

[Verse 7]

Dancing in the nude

Feeling such a dude

It's a rip-off

Mountings of the moon

Remind me of my spoon

It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off
