[quote name=\'isucgv\' date=\'Jun 26 2003, 08:04 AM\'] I learned this year about the lyrics, after watching a Season One episode of Cheers. One of the bar patrons bragged that he knew all the lyrics to the Bonanza theme and proceeded to sing it, just as Randy stated. Rather interesting. :)

I was TRYING to remember where I had heard it before. That was it!

I think I remember seeing an episode of You Bet Your Life where Groucho actually performed \"Hooray For Captain Spauling\", with full lyrics.

On a similar tangent, the existence of lyrics to the Hawaii Five-O theme were confirmed on a classic SNL, when Bill Murray as Nick the Lounge Singer crooned \"When you're feeling lonely, you can come with meeeeeeee...\".

Now, this begs a question. I Dream of Jeannie has two themes -- one for the first season, and one for seasons 2-5. Which one has lyrics?
Also, I remember now that we sang I Love Lucy's theme at that concert, too.

I believe they both do. Gerry Goffin and Carole King wrote the first one, which seems to imply that there were lyrics, though I haven't been able to find them anywhere. I can, however, direct you to Buddy Kaye's lyrics for the more familiar Hugo Montenegro composition. If someone could oblige by explaining what \"We're close as a quarter after three\" means, I'd appreciate it!

I memorized the Hogans Heroes lyrics in elementary school just for the hell of it. Still remember 'em too:
Heroes, heroes, husky men of war,
Sons of all the heroes of the war before. etc.
The books you want for this are John Javna's TV Theme Song Singalong Song Book, Volumes 1 and 2. These books will make you king of the trivia.
If Rhino Records hasn't done this compilation, they should. Lyrical versions of instrumental theme songs. I'd buy it.
