Lyrics

If there's something strange
in your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!

If there's something weird
and it don't look good
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!

I ain't afraid of no ghost
I ain't afraid of no ghost

Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!

If you're all alone
pick up the phone
and call
Ghostbusters!

I ain't afraid of no ghost
I hear it likes the girls
I ain't afraid of no ghost
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!

Mm, if you've had a dose of a
freaky ghost
you better call
Ghostbusters!

Oh!

Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!

Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!
