casper the friendly ghost

He was smiling through his own personal hell
Dropped his last dime down a wishing well
But he was hoping too close and then he fell
Now he's Casper the friendly ghost

He was always polite to the
People who'd tell him
That he was nothing but a lazy bum
But goodbye to them he had to go
Now he's Casper the friendly ghost
No one never treated him nice
While he was alive you can't buy no respect
Like the librarian said
But everybody respects the dead
They love the friendly ghost

And now they say we'll never forget
What he learned us we were mean to him
But he never burned us, and
Love lives forever
Thank you, the friendly ghost
Thank you, Casper the friendly ghost
