A toy toy round tonight
Well it's bound to take a lie.
Don't go around tonight
It's bound to take your life.
Ah, the bedroom on the right
There is a bad moon on the rise
Aussie the bad moon a-rising
Aussie trouble on the way
Aussie earthquakes and lightnin'
Aussie bad times today

I see a bare, blue horizon.
I see a bad moon rising.

I see a brand new rival
I see a bad moon rising
I see a werewolf a-risin'
I see the bad moon rising
I see bad town today
I see bad times today
I see parakeets of lightning
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see the bathroom horizon
I see the bad moon rising
I see the bedroom risin'
I see the bad moon risin'
I see the redrum hiding
I see the bad moon rising
I see treble on the way.
I see trouble on the way.
I seen the bare wakes of lightning
I've seen earthquakes and lightning
I've seen ... Paraquats of lightning,
or
A pair of quaking lighting,
or
Pears skating lightened
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
O Q got your things together
O Q are quite prepared to diet.
