[Verse 1]
I'm decidin' a place to hide in
Then jump out and say boo
Wanna be ghostly but I'm mostly
A scaredy-moose, it's true
All my ghost friends
They're all scary and tough
But I'm nervous and not spooky enough
'Cause when I'm booin'
Oh when I'm booin'

[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
When you’re booin'
When you’re booin'
You're supposed to cause real fright
But when I do it
Folks see right through it
I just can't do it right
Folks should freak out
When they see a real ghost
But I'm harmless
As a piece of cold toast
When I'm booin'
Oh when I'm booin'
The other ghosts all laugh at me
When I'm booin'
Don't know what I'm doin'
The othеr ghosts all laugh at me
