I see the bad moon rising I see trouble all the way
I see earthquakes and lightenin' 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 overflowin' I hear the voice of ragin' ruin
Don't fool around tonight...



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 sinkin' for an eye
Don't fool around tonight...
Oh don't fool around tonight...
