The Lyrics
The best way to deal with hunters of the supernatural when that means they'd be after you? Ridicule them! Make them look like they don't know what they're on about!
Rumours sayin' my house is haunted, totally not what I'm wantin'
Since I've never been the goth type
So with zero amount of stallin', I know just the folks I'm callin'
I can't wait to see what they'll find
Just waitin' around, hearin' their fumbles
Point their device my way, face crumbles
By that I mean theirs 'cause I already knew the source: the ghost was me
I give a little "boo", they lose their shit and start runnin', ghost was me (yeah, yeah)
I always have a ball, have a ball, I have a ball, it's true
Wastin' the time of the ghost hunters, always go nuts, the ghost was me (whoo!)
Got a lot of "what to do now?" options
Should I go for the jaw drop? Full on "brain's busted" (busted)?
Denial that it isn't true, all super stubborn (stubborn)?
Or start ascendin'? Let them start bustin' (yeah, skrrt)?
Done all of 'em (yeah) at least once, no problem (yeah)
Been no holdin' me in their containment (keep escapin')
Never worry that they'd start blabbin' (they will start)
World thinks they're a sham, so I'll stay hidin' (yeah, yeah)
Their credibility is shoddy, they'll just look bonkers, ghost ain't me
They won't find any proof that I've passed on, nothin' solid, ghost ain't me (yeah, yeah)
I always have a ball, have a ball, I have a ball, it's true
Breakin' the minds of the ghost hunters, always go nuts, the ghost ain't me (yee), ghost ain't me
Ghost is me (whoo!)
Yeah
I always have a ball, have a ball, I have a ball, it's true
From "tiny ghost trap in my pocket" to "cardboard (yeah) monster", ghost ain't me
From "who would believe you?" to "look, can still touch you and eat", ghost ain't me (yeah, yeah)
Yes, I always have a ball, have a ball, I have a ball, it's true
Wastin' the time of the ghost hunters, always go nuts, the ghost was me, ghost was me
Was me, ghost was me
Since I've never been the goth type
So with zero amount of stallin', I know just the folks I'm callin'
I can't wait to see what they'll find
Just waitin' around, hearin' their fumbles
Point their device my way, face crumbles
By that I mean theirs 'cause I already knew the source: the ghost was me
I give a little "boo", they lose their shit and start runnin', ghost was me (yeah, yeah)
I always have a ball, have a ball, I have a ball, it's true
Wastin' the time of the ghost hunters, always go nuts, the ghost was me (whoo!)
Got a lot of "what to do now?" options
Should I go for the jaw drop? Full on "brain's busted" (busted)?
Denial that it isn't true, all super stubborn (stubborn)?
Or start ascendin'? Let them start bustin' (yeah, skrrt)?
Done all of 'em (yeah) at least once, no problem (yeah)
Been no holdin' me in their containment (keep escapin')
Never worry that they'd start blabbin' (they will start)
World thinks they're a sham, so I'll stay hidin' (yeah, yeah)
Their credibility is shoddy, they'll just look bonkers, ghost ain't me
They won't find any proof that I've passed on, nothin' solid, ghost ain't me (yeah, yeah)
I always have a ball, have a ball, I have a ball, it's true
Breakin' the minds of the ghost hunters, always go nuts, the ghost ain't me (yee), ghost ain't me
Ghost is me (whoo!)
Yeah
I always have a ball, have a ball, I have a ball, it's true
From "tiny ghost trap in my pocket" to "cardboard (yeah) monster", ghost ain't me
From "who would believe you?" to "look, can still touch you and eat", ghost ain't me (yeah, yeah)
Yes, I always have a ball, have a ball, I have a ball, it's true
Wastin' the time of the ghost hunters, always go nuts, the ghost was me, ghost was me
Was me, ghost was me
At first I was gonna go with the ghost not knowing they were a ghost, then I thought maybe a double-twist that the ghost was lying that they're a ghost (the "tiny ghost trap in my pocket" bit being a remnant of that idea) but we ended up with "playing pranks on the Ghostbusters". Without it being the actual Ghostbusters, since that'd require me to give a crap about Ghostbusters.
