Verse w/intro
There are so many virgin births in this town
The ghost gets around
In the housing estates with the blocked up shop fronts
Leaving the women spellbound
In the cigarette smoke at the hairdressing salon
Girls are all accessorising
It sure ain't not the holy ghost
It's the devil out exercising
Chorus
From the Chighway, Dto the Emhairdressing salon
From the Ctattoo Dparlour, Emto the supermarket
On the Cdiscotheque Dgroove, Emeverybody's doing it
So Cwhy can't DI?Em  
Verse
Rockstars and groupies better beware
The ghost gets around
Little boys, little girls you better be careful
What you put in your mouth
Mothers and daughters, keep your legs crossed
Quit wearing those tiny skirts
Cause when the ghost comes knocking, knocking on your door
My Lord, my Lord it hurts
Chorus x2
C   D   Bm   Emx4
Doodoodoodoodoodoododododoo
Verse
Swore I saw a spirit at 5am
Must have been doing his rounds
Girls are waiting for the ghost to show
In their pretty pretty nightgowns
Constable lock all these naughty girls up
Stop it spreading around
Who is it knocking all these holy girls up
Cause this sure ain't holy ground
Chorus x2
C   D   Bm   Emx4
Doodoodoodoodoodoododododoo to fade
