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
