Lyrics

Ooh-hoo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ooh-hoo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ooh-hoo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ooh-hoo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ow! It's close to midnight
Something evil's lurking from 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
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
This is thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh!
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
All the while
You hear a creature creeping up behind
You're out of time, ah
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance
Against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller, ow!
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
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
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance
Against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
(Hee-hee-hee)
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller
Killer thriller here tonight
(Ow!)
Thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
(Hee-hee-hee)
So, let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller, ow!
Thriller
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ah-ha-ha
