lock your doors and windows when the strangler’s about
he lurks in the shadows in the dark side of town
run quickly as you can if you see a cloaked man
or hear footsteps follow close behind
beware the strangler

he might be right behind you god speed you on your way
the streetlights are dimming and the moon begins to wane
and the fog is rolling slowly over slippery cobblestone
and the fear is creeping deep inside your bones
beware the strangler

he’s the strangler he’s the mangler
he’s the demon in the dark
he’s the back alley mangler
he’s the monster in the park

beware you better beware
