Casper The Friendly Ghost (BBC Radio 1 Live Session) Songtext
von Daniel Johnston

He was smiling through his own personal hell
Dropped his last dime in 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
Nobody 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 burnt us
And love lives forever
thank you – the friendly ghost
thank you – the friendly ghost
