Here Come the Ghosts

Here come the ghosts
Here come the ghosts
Here come the words for ghosts

A poltergeist makes sure you know that he is there
He loves to makes noises and throws objects in the air

A zombie is a person who returns from the dead
You might call him a revenant if you're well read

A phantom, a specter, and an apparition
These are all words that mean "a ghost-like vision"

A spirit that controls a place is called a numen
I don't know what it is, but I know it's not human

Here come the ghosts
Here come the ghosts
Here come the words for ghosts

EU is Good

EU is good
I know that sounds funny
But when "you" is spelled E-U
Then it's right on the money

A sound that is pleasingly sweet and harmonic
Sounds really good so we say it's euphonic

When we are so happy that we're all singing "Gloria"
We're feeling so good we say we're feeling euphoria

If it makes you feel good, if its effect is tonic
A thing can be described as eudemonic

A pet that is old and sick deserves a good end
That pet is euthanized, goodbye old friend

I spoke at a funeral, I spoke well of the dead
My speech was a eulogy, good things I said

EU is good
I know that sounds funny
But when "you" is spelled E-U
Then it's right on the money
