Here's the lyrics to the first song I thought of:

CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST

Casper, the friendly ghost,
The friendliest ghost you know.
Though grown-ups might
Look at him with fright,
The children all love him so.

He always says hello (Hello),
and he's really glad to meetcha.
Wherever he may go,
He's kind to every living creature.

Grown-ups don't understand
Why children love him the most.
But kids all know
That he loves them so,
Casper the friendly ghost.

There's no information on this page about who wrote this song. That's a shame.

The first song that popped in my head was "Cssper the friendly ghost/friendliest ghost you know/grown-ups might look at him in fright/but children all love him so".

This song might be on YouTube, but the video clip that I thought would be that song turned out to be catchy square dance style song that introduced Casper, Witch Wendy, and other characters from that American cartoon show.

Here's the clip's summary statement:

"The New Casper Cartoon Show debuted on ABC in 1963, and stayed on Saturday mornings until 1969. Here's the opening title sequence, which was heavily influenced by the folk music show "Hootenanny"
