Let me tell you way,
way back in sixty -three
Sister Susie brought some sweet,
slow re cords to me
Smokey and Diana,
they were startin' about
Popped my fingers, danced and sang,
I dug for more downtown
They call me White Soul,
I've been called Casper,
I'm a friendly ghost
So cheers to all the fulsome people,
black and white, who digs all the most
This chant is choppin',
some say I've sinned,
but I'm just being me
Wonder, did you ever feel like you
misplaced your sweet identity?
Oh, Aretha, I'd like to be a teacher,
but you're the way I'm told.
Hey, make the ground roll.
Many times I thought that
you would jump.
Smack through my radio, oh, oh, oh
I'd like to say Marvin Gaye is the tops
He's the king, he knows his business,
I mean
An d Mr. G, oh, Mr. G, he's by far
Such a star, a super on the scene, oh
Oh, white soul, I've been called Casper,
I'm a friendly ghost
They call me white soul,
the hippest honky on the whole
western coast
You got to slay, got to crave for the things
that you want most in life
You got to bruise,
win or lose, pay your dues
Got to struggle and strive
White soul, I've been called Casper,
I'm a friendly ghost
They call me white soul,
the hippest honky on the
western coast
Oh, Mr. Jolson, you had some soul, son
This swanee river really blew my mind
I heard the thunder of Stevie Wonder
He showed up for like
ten minutes on time
They call me White Soul
I've been called Casper,
I'm a friendly ghost
They call me White Soul
The hippest pumpkin on the
western coast
They call me White Soul
They call me White Soul
They call me White Soul
They call me White Soul
They call me White Soul
I've been called Casper,
I'm a friendly ghost
