Slips on his sneakers and slides down the stairs Out into the moonlight and the cold night air As he glides through the darkness He leaves no trace A spectre in the night a man with no face He's a sad gambler He's that midnight rambler He's a sad man, and he's a bad man He's a creeper Slinking in the shadows and hiding in the park Silent velvet temple so still an so dark He'll perform this wicked ritual again and again Nothin' short of murder will ease this pain He's an all day sleeper He's a midnight creeper He's a sad man, such a bad man Creeper He's a sad man, he's such a bad man He's a creeper He's a sad gambler He's that midnight rambler He's an all day sleeper He's that midnight creeper He's a sad man, such a bad man He's the midnight creeper
