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
