Daniel Johnston - Casper lyrics

He was smiling through his own personal hell Dropped his last dime in a wishing well But he was hoping to close and then he fell Now he's Casper the Friendly Ghost He was always polite to the people who'd tell him That he was nothing but a lazy bum, but Goodbye to them he had to go Now he's Casper the Friendly Ghost Nobody treated him nice while he was alive You can't buy no respect like the librarian said, but Everybody respects the dead, they Love a friendly ghost And now they say we'll never forget what he learned As we were mean to him but he never burned Just singing, "love lives forever!" Thank you, Casper the Friendly Ghost Thank you, Casper the Friendly Ghost
