He was smiling through his own personal hell
Dropped his last dime down 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 b**
But goodbye to them he has 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 we'll never forget
What he learned us
We were mean to him
But he never burnt us
And love lives forever
Thank you, Casper the friendly ghost
