I see the bad moon rising
I see trouble all the way
I see earthquakes and lightening
I see bad times today

Don't fool around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear a hurricane a roaring
I know the end is coming soon
And I hear the river overflowing
I hear the voice of raging ruin

Don't fool around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hope you've got your things together
I hope you're quite prepared to die
It looks like you're in for nasty weather
Oh, now you're sinking for an eye

Don't fool around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Oh, don't fool around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
