The Lyrics

This one's for Johnny D.. Well, sort of, I mean, I sort of stole the idea from him, anyway....
Cacklin' ghosts can get me scared
One sound from them will straighten my hair! Oh no!!
Running too slow
Locking the doors
Met too many slimes in this old stone castle

Hidin' from a bunch of spooks
Behind a chair hoping they will soon be gone
Hope I'm not wrong
Don't know why they haunt
Those creeps wouldn't weep if they'd sleep in a quiet tomb

How I run from these phantasms
They've got a way to make me panic
Just a glimpse can give me spasms
Cacklin' ghosts they just keep on coming
If you don't blink you can see me running
They seem so ethereal
Must be their burning eyes

Fraidy cat
Fraidy cat, a baby

Cacklin' ghosts will make me a hide
Apparitions make me cower, such a fright
Faces so white
And it just isn't right
A little bit like that Michael Jackson, yeah

How I hate a ghostly wraith
Got no privacy from a specter
Walks through walls and the staircase
Cacklin' ghosts they just keep on coming
If you don't blink you can see me running
They won't let me be, though
I keep on shunning souls

Stay away
Stay away
Stay away, you phantoms

Cacklin' ghosts love to paralyze
Must be where they get their power I surmise
Think it's unwise
To look in their eyes
I wish I could get them to start haunting you

Why don't you think up your own ideas instead of stealing ideas from others, we are parodists, not plagiarists!!!

Hey Copyright Cop, back off. Tim, I am flattered that you chose my parody as inspiration for your own --- I retroactively give you "permission" ! And here's a vote of 555 as well.

Thanks JM, Michael and Johnny. It wasn't really intentional Johnny, but when I post a parody, I check to see if I'm duplicating a work already done. So, actually copyright cop is totally off base anyway. I didn't steal, I deja vued.
