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

Such a rip-off



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



See your baby's stud

Sliding in the mud

It's a rip-off



Bleached on the beach

I want to tickle your peach

It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off



See the girl dance

In her man-skin pants

It's a rip-off



Terraplane Tommy

Wants to bang your gong

It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off



Gypsy girl's good

People treat her like a fool

It's a rip-off



The President's weird

He's got a burgundy beard

It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off



I'm the King of the highway

I'm the Queen of the hop

You should see me

At the Governors 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 fleetfoot vodoo man

There's very little that's ever said

All of which I understand



Caught like a skunk

In space and time

It's a rip-off



If it's her's

Well it must be mine

It's a rip-off

Such a rip-off
