The Ghost in the Library Lyrics

In the library after dark

Books are breathing, leaves a mark

Dusty shelves, a creaky floor

What's that shadow by the door

She floats between the ancient stacks

With hollow eyes and cobwebbed cracks

Don't check out, don't make a peep

Or you'll wake her from her sleep

The ghost in the library's got a trick

She'll read your mind and make it stick

Turn the page and she'll appear

Whispering spooky tales in your ear

So don't get lost in the stacks tonight

Or the ghost'll give you a fright

You came to find a bedtime tale

But now you're pale and start to flail

Her icy breath, it chills the air

She's laughing softly everywhere

She haunts the books with spooky grace

Bookmarking every fearful face

Don't get too close, she'll pull you in

And trap you in her ghostly grin

The ghost in the library's got a trick

She'll read your mind and make it stick

Turn the page and she'll appear

Whispering spooky tales in your ear

So don't get lost in the stacks tonight

Or the ghost'll give you a fright

By candlelight she'll guide your hand

Through stories cursed and tales so grand

She's got your number, you can't flee

You're just another mystery

The ghost in the library's got a trick

She'll read your mind and make it stick

Turn the page and she'll appear

Whispering spooky tales in your ear

So don't get lost in the stacks tonight

Or the ghost'll give you a fright

So if you hear that soft "Shh" sound

You know she's floating right around

Better run, don't hang around

Or you'll be her next lost-and-found

The ghost in the library's got a trick

She'll read your mind and make it stick

Turn the page and she'll appear

Whispering spooky tales in your ear

So don't get lost in the stacks tonight

Or the ghost'll give you a fright

So if you hear that soft "Shh" sound

You know she's floating right around

Better run, don't hang around

Or you'll be her next lost-and-found
