[Verse 1]
(Ghostbusters)

(Ghostbusters)

[Chorus]
I ain't 'fraid of no ghost
Uh, I ain't 'fraid of no ghost
[Verse 5]
Don't get caught alone, oh no
(Ghostbusters)
When it comes through your door
Unless you just a-want some more
I think you better call
(Ghostbusters)
Ow
[Outro]
Who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)
Who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)
Uh, think you better call
(Ghostbusters)
Ha-ha, who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)
I can't hear you
Who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)
Louder
(Ghostbusters)
Who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)
Who can you call?
(Ghostbusters)
Who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)
Uh, it likes the girls too
