Gonna tell you a story about a little town I know They had a real big problem With some big mean local ghosts Those spooks were making the whole city lose control
Well the mayor was frantic, the townsfolk panicked But they had no sense of fear 'Cause they knew that they were missing those boys with a mission So they called them up right here
They went boxing and trapping and shooting through the joint Stepped right in and got down to the point Those Ghostbusters came in cleanin' 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 dancing around And the whole town started to roar And they cheered each time they'd watch those Slimers Drop down to the floor
They went boxing and trapping and shooting through the joint Stepped right in and got down to the point Those Ghostbusters came in cleanin' up the town
They went boxing and trapping and shooting through the joint Stepped right in and got down to the point You should seen those specters in a trance saying 'Those boys make 'em dance'
Well New York, New York's so happy now Every mom, dad, girl, and boy But if the boys hadn't come to the rescue The spooks might have still been making noise
They went boxing and trapping and shooting through the joint Stepped right in and got down to the point Those Ghostbusters came in cleanin' up the town
