Oh, listen to my story:

Life is getting stranger, baby
As we travel on.
People don't know the difference no more
Between right and wrong.

Say it's gonna be a cold dark night
When The Creeper comes along.
Watch out for the steel blade, baby,
All shiny and long.

I say it's gonna be a cold dark night
Oh, when The Creeper come along. Yea.

He's tall, he's short, he's fat, he's thin.
He's out for vengeance, he's out to win.
The road he walks is dark and dim
Don't let him catch you out on a limb.

He'll cut your throat, baby, stick you in the back
Drive off in your Cadillac.
He's more trouble than you think
He'll kill your sugar, leave you in the drink.

Say, it's gonna be a cold dark night
Oh, when The Creeper come along.

Yea the enemy of Society hurts the people everyday.
The law's out to catch him, baby, but there just ain' no way.

I say it's gonna be a cold dark night
When The Creeper come along.
Watch out for the steel blade, baby,
All shiny and long.
I say it's gonna be a cold dark night
Lord, when The Creeper come along.
Yea...

Yes, it's gonna be a cold dark night
Lord, when The Creeper come along.
