Little ghost, little ghost 
One I'm scared of the most 
Can you scare me up a little bit of love? 
I'm the only one that sees you, 
And I can't do much to please you 
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above 

The first moment that I met her 
I did not expect a specter 
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove 
She looked into me so sweetly 
And we left the room discreetly 
No one else could know the secret of our love 

Little ghost, little ghost 
One I'm scared of the most 
Can you scare me up a little bit of love? 
I'm the only one that sees you, 
And I can't do much to please you 
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above 

Every morning I awoke 
And I see my little ghost 
Wond'rin' if it's really her that's lying there 
I lean to touch her and I whisper 
But not brave enough to kiss her 
When I held her I was really holding air 

Little ghost, little ghost 
One I'm scared of the most 
Can you scare me up a little bit of love? 
I'm the only one that sees you, 
And I can't do much to please you 
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above 

Though I try my best to keep it 
There really was no secret 
Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall 
No one else could see this apparition 
But because of my condition 
I fell in love with a little ghost and that was all 

Little ghost, little ghost 
One I'm scared of the most 
Can you scare me up a little bit of love? 
I'm the only one that sees you, 
And I can't do much to please you 
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above 
No, it's not yet time to meet the lord above
