Theme Song Lyrics
Here’s the story of a lovely lady
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls
All of them had hair of gold like their madre
The youngest one in curls
Hey, here’s the story of a cat 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 that it was much more than a hunch
That this group must somehow form a family
That’s the way they all became the Brady bunch
The Brady bunch that Brady bunch
That’s the way we became the Brady bunch
