Lurking in the background, creeping all around
There's one who can turn a smile to a frown
Don't let the goobers come and get you down
Think about the good that you've found
Like ice cream sundaes, trips to the zoo
And days that are sunny, a friend that's true
Riding a horse and singing, too
But don't let the goobers get to you
They may be watching when you hurt inside
Or try to trip you and you cannot hide
You may not be ready for their disguise
So don't let the goobers in your life
So when you're afraid
And can't be sure of what's inside or behind the door
Just lock 'em in the basement under the floor
And think upon the Lord
Live what is right and what is true
Good things will come when you do
But if it comes back when you're feelin' blue
Don't let the goobers get to you
Don't let the goobers get to you
