[short instrumental intro] [Verse 1] He walked in smilin’, boots all muddy Dropped his bags like he owned my study I rattled the vents and slammed a door He said, “This house sure likes to roar” [Chorus] I’ve got a ghost of a chance with this man He blames every creak on a faulty fan I wrote ‘hey cutie’ in the mirror steam He brushed it off like a bathroom dream [Verse 2] I floated plates, I broke a vase He said, “Must be tremors in the base” I moaned in Latin—just a bit He laughed, “These pipes throw quite a fit!” [Chorus] I’ve got a ghost of a chance with this man He blamed my wail on the ceiling fan I spelled ‘kiss me’ in alphabet soup He stirred it once, said, “That’s a spoof” [Bridge] I blinked the lights to Morse-code flirt He fixed the fuse with a flannel shirt I manifested in a ghostly stance— He walked through without a glance [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I popped out moaning from a closet door He asked, “Is that you, creaky floor?” I cried so loud the rafters shook He put on headphones and read a book [Final Chorus] I’ve got a ghost of a chance with this man He’s immune to charm and my haunted plan I’ll keep on tryin’, one spooky advance— A love-struck ghoul with a ghost of a chance [instrumental outro] [fade out]
