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 that they were missing those boys with a mission

So they called them up, I cheer

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, it 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

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 good 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 have still been 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

Cleanin' up the town
