[Intro]

[Verse 1]

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 the eyes

You're paralyzed

[Chorus 1]

‘Cause this is thriller… thriller night

No one is gonna save you

From the beast about to strike

Thriller… thriller night

You’re fighting for your life

F G Am

Inside a killer, thriller night

[Verse 2]

You hear the door slam

And realize that 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

But all the while

You feel the creature creeping up behind

You're outta time

[Chorus 2]

'Cause this is thriller… thriller night

There ain’t no second chance

To kill the thing with forty eyes

Thriller… thriller night

You're fighting for your life

F G Am

Inside of killer, thriller night

[Verse 3]

They're out to get you,

There's demons closing in on every side

They will possess you,

Unless you change that number on your 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

[Chorus 3]

That this is thriller… thriller night

'Cause I can thrill you more

Than any ghost would dare to try

Thriller… thriller night

You’re fighting for your life

F G

Inside a killer, thriller, yeah

F G Am

Chiller, thriller night

[Outro]
