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

No one treated him nice while he was alive
You can't buy no respect like the librarian said
But everybody respects the dead
They all love the friendly ghost

He was always polite to the people who'd tell him
That hе was nothing but a lazy bum
But goodbye to them, it's time to go
Now hе's Casper the friendly ghost

They say "we'll never forget what he learned
Yes, we were mean to him, but he never burned us
Love lives forever
Thank you, Casper the friendly ghost"
