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¨ˆs 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
