Daniel Johnston — Casper the Friendly Ghost

[Intro] The coyote goes: Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] And now they say we’ll never forget that he learned, yes We were mean to him but he never burned us, and Love lives forever, thanks to you, the friendly ghost Thank you, Casper the friendly ghost [Verse 5] And so the legend grew And all the people that he knew Go and spread the news of Casper the friendly ghost [Outro] The cow says: Moo!
