In the moonlight

Fighting with the night

It's a rip-off

Kissing all the slain

I'm bleeding in the rain

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 my 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 in 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



Gypsy girl's good

People treat her like a fool

It's a rip-off

The President's weird

He's got 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 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 fleetfoot voodoo man

There's very little that's ever said

All of which I understand



Caught like 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



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
