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
