Thriller
Lyrics 
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

Must stand and face the hounds of hell
Oh darlin' thriller night
The evil of the thriller
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
This is the end of your life
I'm gonna be here tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
The funk of forty thousand years
You know it's thriller, thriller a' night
And rot inside a corpse's shell
And though you fight to stay alive
Night creatures call
Without the soul for getting down
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
And whosoever shall be found
Darkness falls across the land
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller
You're paralyzed
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
Creatures crawl in search of blood
They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Thriller, thriller night
The midnight hour is close at hand
You're out of time
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
I'm gonna be here tonight
Songwriter: Rod Temperton
For no mere mortal can resist
Your body starts to shiver
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
I'm gonna be here tonight
(They're open wide)
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
I'll make you see that this is thriller, thriller night
To terrorize y'alls neighborhood
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
The foulest stenches in the air
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
I'm gonna be here tonight
But all the while you hear a creature creepin' up behind
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen
Publisher: RODSONGS
I'm gonna be here tonight
Thriller, thriller night
Are closing in to seal your doom
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
There ain’t no second chance against the thing with forty eyes girl
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller a night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
They're out to get you, there's demons close to the inn on every side
You’re fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
Thriller here tonight
