Gonna tell you a story
About a little town i know
They had a real big problem

With some big mean local ghost
Those spooks were making
The whole city lose control


Well, the mayor was frantic
The town was panicked

Cause they had no sense of fear
Cause they knew they were missing
Those boys with a mission

So they called them up right chere

[chorus]

They were boxing and trapping
And shooting through the joint
Stepped right in and

Got down to the point
Those ghostbusters came in
Cleaning up the town


Oh, yeah


About five o'clock, those boys came up
And they could see those spooks were real
And they knew they'd better get right to work

So they revved up the ectomobile

Yeah, the boys were ready

Their aim was steady and
Their hearts were made of steel


Well, the mayor, he started ranting around
And the whole town started to roar
And they're seeing this town that rocked

Those slimers dropped down to the floor

[repeat chorus]


They were boxing and trapping
And shooting through the joint

Stepped right in and
Got down to the point
You shoulda seen those

Spectres in the trap saying
Those boys, make 'em dance


Well, new york
New york's so happy now
They rocked that building, boy

But if the boys hadn't come to the rescue
The spooks might still be making noise


[repeat chorus]
