Ghost Song
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics

It floats up the stairs, it floats down the hall.
The imagined ghost is floating and moving around the house without any particular direction.

It floats into my bedroom, right through the wall.
The ghost enters the singer's bedroom without any restrictions, as it can float through walls.

It glides post my dresser, to the bedpost. I swear.
The singer is sure that the ghost is floating past the dresser and over to the bedpost.

I'm looking at a ghost! Naaaaa!
The artist is convinced that they are seeing a ghost floating in front of them, causing them to panic.

There's no such thing! It's not a ghost,
The artist is trying to convince themselves that what they saw is not a ghost.

Because there's no such thing. No such thing.
The singer is attempting to reason that there are no such things as ghosts.

It plays the piano, it swings on the swing.
Even though the singer is convinced that there is no ghost, they still imagine the ghost playing the piano and swinging on the swing.

It does a lot considering there's no such thing.
The ghost is doing various activities despite being thought to be non-existent.

Then it boots my computer, as quick as you please.
The ghost manages to turn on the computer quickly and smoothly.

It floats on the keyboard. It presses some keys.
The ghost hovers over the keyboard and types something on the computer.

"What creature may you be?" came up on the screen.
The computer displays a message asking what type of creature the user is.

I type in, "a human being."
The artist responds to the message with the name of their species.

Suddenly, the rooms goes as icy as winter,
The room gets very cold all of a sudden, similar to the winter season.

And something came out of the printer...
The printer starts printing something out.

"No such thing! You can't be human, cause there's no such thing.
The ghost responds with disbelief, claiming that there are no such things as humans.

Those human stories, they scare ghosts so,
The ghost suggests that humans use scary ghost stories to scare ghosts, even though they do not exist in reality.

But we know there's no such to thing!"
The ghost is insistent that there are no such things as humans or the things that they claim to see.

Now hold the phone! I'm really real!
The singer insists that they are a real human being.

"You're not!", "are not!", "You're wrong". I cried!
The singer tries to argue with the ghost, telling them that they are wrong and insisting on their own existence.

"All right, let's play a game of cards to decide.
The ghost proposes a card game to settle the argument between them.

"Okay. Whoever wins the game, that one's real."
The ghost suggests that whoever wins the card game is the one who truly exists.

He types out, "You got it. Now deal!"
The ghost agrees to the idea and types a response on the computer, asking to start the game.

I ask him for aces, he types out "you wish."
The singer asks for aces during the game, but the ghost responds with a sarcastic comment.

He asks me for sevens. I type out "You wish!"
The ghost requests sevens, but the artist responds with a similar comment as the ghost.

"Jacks?" "Sorry." "Queens?" "No." "Sixes?" "huh-uh." "Twos?"
The two players go back and forth asking for certain cards but neither of them get them.

We play for a hour, and guess what? I lose!
After playing cards for an hour, the singer loses the game against the ghost.

"No such thing. You don't exist! There's so such thing!"
The ghost continues to dismiss the existence of humans.

It made me crazy to be told where to go
The artist becomes frustrated with being told what is real or not by the ghost.

By something who's no such thing.
The ghost is a non-existent entity, therefore unable to have power over the artist.

The story now is over, the story is through.
The story has reached its conclusion and is finished.

And some of you may even think this story is true.
The singer acknowledges that the story may be believable to some listeners.

But, there's no such thing.
Despite the story that was told, the artist is insistent that ghosts and other imagined entities do not exist.

It didn't happen, cause there's no such thing.
The artist is claiming that the events described in the story did not occur, because there are no such things as ghosts.

I made the whole thing up, so I outta know.
As the storyteller, the artist reminds the audience that they are the one who created the story.

And I know there's no such things.
The singer is reiterating their belief that there are no such things as ghosts.

There's no such thing.
The final line reemphasizes that the story was completely fabricated and that the idea of ghosts is not real.

There's no such thing.
This is a repeat of the previous line, emphasizing the point even further.

I hope!
The last line ends with an exclamation and implies that there is still hope for those who do believe in ghosts or other imagined beings.
