Casper the Friendly Ghost
Written by Jerry Livingston and Mack David
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.

The Flintstones
Music by Hoyt S. Curtin, Lyrics by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera
They're the modern stone age family
From the town of Bedrock
They're a page right out of history
Let's ride with the family down the street
Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet
When you're with the Flintstones
You'll have a yabba dabba doo time
A dabba doo time
You'll have a gay old time

Mister Ed
by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston
And no one can talk to a horse, of course
That is, of course, unless the horse
Is the famous Mister Ed
Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse
He's always on a steady course
Talk to Mister Ed
People yakkity yak a streak
And waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak
Unless he has something to say
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well listen to this
I am Mister Ed

The Beverly Hillbillies
"The Ballad of Jed Clampett" by Paul Henning
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was shootin at some food
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea
Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly
Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars
***
Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in
You're all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality
Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, take your shoes off
Y'all come back now, y'hear?

Petticoat Junction
by Paul Henning and Curt Massey
That is rolling down the tracks
To the junction
(Petticoat Junction)
Forget about your cares
It is time to relax
At the junction
(Petticoat Junction)
Lotsa curves, you bet
Even more when you get
To the junction
(Petticoat Junction)
There's a little hotel called the Shady Rest
At the junction
(Petticoat Junction)
It is run by Kate, come and be her guest
At the junction

And that's Uncle Joe, he's a movin' kind of slow

The Patty Duke Show
From Zanzibar to Berkeley Square
But Patty's only seen the sight
A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights
What a crazy pair!
But they're cousins
Identical cousins all the way
One pair of matching bookends
Different as night and day
Where Cathy adores a minuet
The Ballets Russes, and crepes Suzette
Our Patty loves to rock and roll
A hot dog makes her lose control
What a wild duet!
Still, they're cousins
Identical cousins and you'll find
They laugh alike, they walk alike
At times they even talk alike
You can lose your mind
When cousins are two of a kind

Gilligan's Island
"The Ballad of Gilligan's Island" by George Wyle and Sherwood Schwartz
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship
The mate was a mighty sailing man
The skipper brave and sure
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour
The weather started getting rough
The tiny ship was tossed
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost
The ship set ground on the shore
Of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan, the Skipper too
The millionaire and his wife
The movie star
The Professor and Mary Ann
Here on Gilligan's Isle
~
So this is the tale of our castaways
They're here for a long, long time
They'll have to make the best of things
It's an uphill climb
The first mate and his skipper too
Will do their very best
To make the others comfortable
In the tropic island nest
No phone, no lights, no motor cars
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's primative as can be
So join us here each week my friend
You're sure to get a smile
From seven stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan's Isle

F Troop
by Irving Taylor and William Lava
When quite accidentally
A hero who sneezed abruptly seized
Retreat and reversed it to victory
His medal of honor pleased and thrilled
his proud little family group
While pinning it on some blood was spilled
And so it was planned he'd command... F Troop
Where Indian fights are colorful sights
and nobody takes a lickin'
Where paleface and redskin
Both turn chicken
When drilling and fighting get them down
They know their morale can't droop
As long as they all relax in town
Before they resume with a bang and a boom... F Troop

by Howard Greenfield and Jack Keller
I can arrange to change any doubts you feel

Green Acres
by Vic Mizzy
Farm livin' is the life for me
Land spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan,
Just give me that countryside
New York is where I'd rather stay
I get allergic smelling hay
I just adore a penthouse view
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue
...The chores
...The stores
...Fresh air
...Times Square
You are my wife
Good bye, city life
Green Acres we are there

The Monkees
By Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet.
Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.
We go wherever we want to,
Do what we like to do.
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.
Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.
We're just trying to be friendly,
Come watch us sing and play.
We're the young generation,
And we got something to say.
Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
You never know where we'll be found.
So you'd better get ready,
We may be comin to your town.

The Brady Bunch
by Frank DeVol and Sherwood Schwartz
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls
All of them had hair of gold,
Like their mother
The youngest one in curls
Here's the store, of a man named Brady
Who was busy with three boys of his own
They were four men, living all together
Yet they were all alone
Till the one day when the lady met this fellow
And they knew it was much more than a hunch
That this group would somehow form a family
That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch
The Brady Bunch
That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch

The Mary Tyler Moore Show
"Love is All Around" by Sonny Curtis
Who can take a nothing day,
And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement
You show it
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all
How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

On your mark, get set, and go now
Got a dream and we just know now
We're gonna make our dream come true
And we'll do it our way, yes our way
Make all our dreams come true
And do it our way, yes our way
