I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care,
care if I'm old

I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind,
if I don't have a mind

Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away,
way, way from your home

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid,
of a ghost

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three
