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
