[BRITTAIN]
I’D BE A GHOST
DON’T WANNA BE A ZOMBIE
CUZ ZOMBIES ARE JUST GOOD FUN
DON’T WANNA BE A VAMPIRE
CUZ THEY CAN’T FEEL THE SUN
DON’T WANNA BE A MEDICAL CORPSE
THE STUDENTS WOULD CUT ME WRONG
NO I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG
DON’T WANNA BE A GHOUL
CUZ I RESPECT MYSELF
DON’T WANNA BE SOME ASHES
IN A COFFEE CAN ON THE SHELF
DON’T WANNA BE A WRAITH
I COULD NEVER BE THAT STRONG
NO I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG
DON’T WANNA BE A POLTERGEIST
CUZ I’M NO MOVIE STAR
DON’T WANNA BE A LICH
I’M NOT EVEN SURE WHAT THEY ARE
DON’T WANNA BE JUST A BRAIN IN A JAR
IN A LAB IN SOUTH HONG KONG
NO I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG
DON’T WANNA BE A SPOOK
CUZ THAT WORD’S A LITTLE RACIST
DON’T WANNA BE A MUMMY
I ADMIT IT, I’M AN AGEIST
DON’T WANNA BE A WHITE WALKER
THAT’S SOME OTHER FELLOW’S SONG
NO I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG
YEAH I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
[ALL]
SHE JUST WANTS TO BE A GHOST
[BRITTAIN]
YEAH I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
[ALL]
SHE JUST WANTS TO BE A GHOST
[BRITTAIN]
YEAH I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG
