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
