lyrics

ANY KIND OF DEAD PERSON
___________________________

[BRITTAIN]
Side 1, Track 7. “Any Kind of Dead Person.”

[DAVE]
IF YOU COULD BE A BIRD
WHAT KIND OF BIRD WOULD YOU BE?

[BRITTAIN]
A ROBIN

[GELSEY]
IF YOU COULD BE A CAT
WHAT KIND OF CAT WOULD YOU BE?

[BRITTAIN]
A LION

[BRENT]
AND IF YOU COULD BE A PART OF BREAKFAST
WHAT PART OF BREAKFAST WOULD YOU BE?

[BRITTAIN]
THE PIECE OF TOAST

[DAVE]
AND IF YOU COULD BE A DEAD GUY
WHAT KIND OF DEAD GUY WOULD YOU BE?

[BRITTAIN]
I’D BE A GHOST

DON’T WANNA BE A ZOMBIE
CUZ ZOMBIES ARE JUST GOOD FUN
DON’T WANNA BE A VAMPIRE
CUZ THEY CAN’T FEEL THE SUN
DON’T WANNA BE A MEDICAL CORPSE
THE STUDENTS WOULD CUT ME WRONG
NO I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG

DON’T WANNA BE A GHOUL
CUZ I RESPECT MYSELF
DON’T WANNA BE SOME ASHES
IN A COFFEE CAN ON THE SHELF
DON’T WANNA BE A WRAITH
I COULD NEVER BE THAT STRONG
NO I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG

DON’T WANNA BE A POLTERGEIST
CUZ I’M NO MOVIE STAR
DON’T WANNA BE A LICH
I’M NOT EVEN SURE WHAT THEY ARE
DON’T WANNA BE JUST A BRAIN IN A JAR
IN A LAB IN SOUTH HONG KONG
NO I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG

DON’T WANNA BE A SPOOK
CUZ THAT WORD’S A LITTLE RACIST
DON’T WANNA BE A MUMMY
I ADMIT IT, I’M AN AGEIST
DON’T WANNA BE A WHITE WALKER
THAT’S SOME OTHER FELLOW’S SONG
NO I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG

YEAH I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST

[ALL]
SHE JUST WANTS TO BE A GHOST

[BRITTAIN]
YEAH I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST

[ALL]
SHE JUST WANTS TO BE A GHOST

[BRITTAIN]
YEAH I JUST WANNA BE A GHOST
AND GO WOOOOO ALL NIGHT LONG
