Two Kings

The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark

and another

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

his mother called him "WILD THING!"

You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it

and Max said "I'LL EAT YOU UP!"

You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes

so he was sent to bed without eating anything

You're paralyzed!

That very night in Max's room a forest grew
and grew
and grew until the ceiling hung with vines
and the walls became the world all around

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike

You know it's thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run

and he sailed off through night and day

You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun

and in and out of weeks

You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination!

and almost over a year

But all the while you hear the creature creeping up behind

to where the wild things are.

You're out of time!

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, boy

Thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

And when he came to the place where the wild things are

Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masquerade

they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth

There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time

and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws

(They're open wide)

This is the end of your life.

till Max said "BE STILL!"

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side

and tamed them with the magic trick

They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial

of staring into all of their yellow eyes without blinking once

Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah

and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all

All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen

and made him king of all wild things.

I'll make you see!

"And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"

This is thriller, thriller night

'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try

Thriller, thriller night

So let me hold you tight and share a

Killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Boy, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow!

"Now stop!" Max said and sent the wild things off to bed
without their supper. And Max the king of all wild things was lonely
and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all.

Darkness falls across the land

Then all around from far away across the world

The midnight hour is close at hand

he smelled good things to eat

Creatures crawl in search of blood

so he gave up being king of where the wild things are

To terrorize y'alls neighborhood

But the wild things cried, "Oh please don't go-
we'll eat you up-we love you so!"
And Max said "No!"

The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth

The foulest stench is in the air

The funk of forty thousand years

and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws

And grizzly ghouls from every tomb

Are closing in to seal your doom

but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye

and sailed back over a year

and in and out of weeks

and through a day

And though you fight to stay alive

Your body starts to shiver

and into the night of his very own room
where he found his supper waiting for him

For no mere mortal can resist

The evil of the thriller

and it was still pop.
