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
