- Casper The Friendly Ghost Lyrics / with translationsHe 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 bum
But goodbye to them he had to go
Now he’s Casper the friendly ghost
No one never 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
thanks to you – Casper the friendly ghost
thanks to you – Casper the friendly ghost
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 bum
But goodbye to them he had to go
Now he’s Casper the friendly ghost
No one never treated him nice
While he was alive
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
thanks to you – Casper the friendly ghost
thanks to you – Casper the friendly ghost
