Theme Song Lyrics
Clifford needed Emily so she chose him for her own
And her love made Clifford grow so big
That the Howards had to leave their home
Clifford’s the best friend anyone could know
He’s the greatest dog ever
I really think so
Clifford’s so loyal he’s there when you call
I love Clifford the Big Red Dog
So they packed up the family car
And the Howards left the city
They moved to Birdwell Island
And found many new friends
There to greet Clifford and Emily
Clifford’s so much fun
He’s a friend to us all
I love Clifford the Big Red Dog
