Casper The Friendly Ghost - Daniel Johnston

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 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 burned us, and

Love lives forever

Thank you, the friendly ghost

Thank you, Casper the friendly ghost
