Lyrics:

Ge ge gegege no ge
Asa wa nedoko de guu guu guu
Tanoshii na Tanoshii na
Obake nya gakkou mo shiken mo nannimo nai
Ge ge gegege no ge
Minna de utaou gegege no ge

Ge ge gegege no ge
Hiru wa nonbiri osanpo da
Tanoshii na Tanoshii na
Obake nya kaisha mo shigoto mo nannimo nai
Ge ge gegege no ge
Minna de utaou gegege no ge

Ge ge gegege no ge
Yoru wa hakaba de undoukai
Tanoshii na Tanoshii na
Obake wa shinanai byouki mo nannimo nai
Ge ge gegege no ge
Minna de utaou gegege no ge
Minna de utaou gegege no ge
Minna de utaou gegege no ge

English translation:

Ge ge gegege no ge
All morning we snooze, zzz-zzz-zzz
What fun it is! What fun it is!
When ghosts go to school, there are no tests -- not one!
Ge ge gegege no ge
All together now: Ge-ge-ge no ge

Ge ge gegege no ge
In the daytime we have a carefree stroll
Oh, what fun! Oh, what fun!
When ghosts go to the office -- there's no work, none at all!
Ge ge gegege no ge
All together now: Ge-ge-ge no ge

Ge ge gegege no ge
At nightfall, we play sports in the graveyard
Oh, what fun! Oh, what fun!
Ghosts never die -- and never get sick!
Ge ge gegege no ge
All together now: Ge-ge-ge no ge
All together now: Ge-ge-ge no ge
All together now: Ge-ge-ge no ge
