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

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

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

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

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
