Ghostbuster
J. Parker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ghostbusters!
If there's something strange in you neighborhood,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
If there's something weird and it don't look good,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!

I ain't afraid of no ghost.
I ain't afraid of no ghost.

If you're seeing things running through your head,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
An invisible man sleeping in your bed,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!

I ain't afraid of no ghost.
I ain't afraid of no ghost.




Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
If you're all alone, pick up the phone and call
