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 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 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

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 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 have still been making noise

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
