Making Our Dreams Come True
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!
We're gonna do it!
Give us any chance, we'll take it
Give us any rule, we'll break it
We're gonna make our dreams come true
Doin' it our way
Nothin's gonna turn us back now
Straight ahead and on the track now
We're gonna make our dreams come true
Doin' it our way
There is nothing we won't try
Never heard the word impossible
This time there's no stopping us
We're gonna do it
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
Make all our dreams come true
For me and you

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
The show was a spin-off from Happy Days, as the two lead characters were originally introduced on that show as acquaintances of Fonzie.
At the start of each episode, Laverne and Shirley are seen skipping down the street, arm in arm, reciting a Yiddish-American hopscotch chant: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!" This then leads into the series' theme song which is entitled Making Our Dreams Come True and is performed by Cyndi Grecco. In the 6th and 7th seasons (which would be the Hollywood seasons), the intro would be Laverne and Shirley coming out of an apartment, but still singing their original chant, and then a re-orchestrated version of the original theme song. During the final season after Cindy Williams left the show, the show opened with Laverne watching a group of school children perform the chant before the theme song began.
A Dream Come True:
The theme song from the series, Making Our Dreams Come True, was released as a single and became a top 30 hit in 1976. The song was written by Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox, and performed by Cyndi Grecco.

Getting its start as a spin-off from "Happy Days," "Laverne & Shirley" takes place in Milwaukee in the 1950s and features Laverne, an outspoken, hot-headed woman who would love more than anything to be rescued from her job by a nice man, and Shirley, a young woman who worries about her reputation and often finds herself assuming the role of Laverne's conscience in an effort to keep her best friend out of trouble. The two quirky friends have many fun times with Lenny and Squiggy, two greasers who share an apartment above Laverne and Shirley and always seem to have some kind of scheme up their sleeves.
