Paul:
There across the room
Moving to the groove
is the ghost girl I love.
Oh but she'll never know.
Oh Mary.

The band plays in time
as i lose my mind
Lord she looks so divine.
Oh Mary.
You're so scary.

Paul's Inner Monologue:
Come on Paul!
Get it together!
I got some advice for you, Paul.
Take my word!

You gotta dance dance dance with the ghost girl.
You gotta dance dance dance with that ghost girl.
You know you only live twice
once as a human
then once more as a ghost
but, while you're a human
you gotta dance dance dance dance dance with the ghost girl
dance dance dance dance dance with the ghost
you gotta dance dance dance dance dance with the ghost girl
ya dance dance dance dance dance with ghost you love
you gotta dance dance dance with the ghost you love (x4)

Paul: Hey Mary. Would you like to dance with me?

Mary:
Of Course Paul.

Paul you are so sweet.
Swept me off my feet.
If I only had feet.
Oh Paulie.
You're my dollie.

I hope Colonel Cream
Doesn't reach his dream
of tearing down Ghost Town
to build ice cream
Ice cream stands.
