Run-D.M.C. – Ghostbusters lyrics
Ghostbusters!
I ain't afraid of no ghosts (3X)
Ghostbusters!

[Run]Something strange goin on
Something's wrong
[Dmc]Gloom in the room
Outside is the storm
All alone in the crib
Watchin the tube
[Run]Yo-o-o-o is that what I think?
Did I see somethin move?
[Dmc]Chill down your spine
Your heart fills with fright
Not filled by the things
That go bump in the night
They walk through the walls
With no time to stall
[Run]You call the ghostbusters
Well that's who you call!

Ghostbusters!
We ain't-we ain't-we
We ain't afraid of no ghosts
Ghostbusters!
We ain't-we ain't-we
We ain't afraid of no ghosts
Ghostbusters!
We ain't-we ain't-we
We ain't afraid of no ghosts
Ghostbusters!
[Run]Stop! Uhh!
[Dmc]Bridge
[Run]Hit it!

I-I ain't, I-I ain't
I ain't afraid of no ghosts
I, I-I ain't afraid
I-I ain't, I-I ain't
I-I-I, I-I-I ain't afraid of no ghosts

Ghostbusters!
Ghostbusters!

[Run]All alone on the phone
So whassup with that noise?
The wife's at work and I'm no jerk
And I just left my boys
? At school and I'm no fool
And I got no time to waste
So you get up and call, don't trip and fall
Go outside and leave the place
Now it's no dream because you seein
A shadow in the night
But we will come and get it done
So don't worry save your fright
Now there's a group who likes to troop
And you know you can trust us
So don't get nervous cause at your service
The local ghostbusters!

I ain't afraid of no ghosts
I ain't I ain't afraid of no ghosts (2X)
Ghostbusters!
I ain't afraid of no ghosts
I ain't I ain't afraid of no ghosts (2X)
Ghostbusters!

[Dmc]Aight aight aight
I remember the time, I visited the grave
My life on the line, only my life to save
All by myself, with no one around
Did not understand a hand comin out the ground
I knew it wasn't mine, it was somebody else
But I didn't care G, I just screamed for help!
Then - ghostbusters - had strapped to their back
Screamin - ghostbusters - those 'busters attacked
"We are your friendly neighborhood ghostbusters,"
That's what they said to me
"We are the busters of an ?, G-H-O-S-T"

Ghostbusters!
I ain't-I ain't-I ain't
I ain't afraid of no ghosts
Ghostbusters!
I ain't-I ain't-I ain't
I ain't afraid of no ghosts

[Run]Howling haunting
[Dmc]Scaring screaming
[Run]Ghostly ghosts
[Dmc]Ghouling demons!
[Run]Monsters spooks
[Dmc]Werewolves and devils
[Run]All those things
[Dmc]on the same level
[Run]Nightmares (bad dreams) cannot be beat
It takes a brave man (to stand in defeat)
Must be the bravest (yo, the bravest and most)
You must be able to say, "I ain't afarid of no ghosts"
[Dmc]A good sense of humor, is important to have
When a ghost tries to scare you (ha, don't make me laugh)
They be dustin off ghosts, like true ghost-dusters
[both]Go, go, go, go, ghoooooosstbusters!

Ghostbusters!

[D. M. C.]
Busters, busters!
One time in the house
Peace to everybody out there
We love ya, peace
