Groovie Goolies Theme Song Lyrics

Everybody shout! Come on now, sing out! It’s time for the Goolies get-together! They got jokes for everyone With laughter, songs, and fun So let’s go to the Goolies get-together! Come on everybody, join the Goolies They’re gonna do their thing for you They’re kinda strange, they’re real funny You’ll be glad to know they love you too! Everybody shout! Come on now, sing out! It’s time for the Goolie get-together! You’re gonna see how funny they can be ‘Cause it’s time for the Goolies get-together!

Behind the Music: Meaning & Story

The Groovie Goolies theme song, “Goolies Get-Together,” is a bubblegum-pop anthem that perfectly encapsulates the “Monster Mash” craze of the late 1960s and early 70s. Composed by Richard Delvy, Ed Fournier, and Dick Monda, the music was a central part of the show’s identity. Every episode featured two musical numbers performed by the Goolies in their band, which often mirrored the style of contemporary groups like The Archies.

Premiering in 1970 on CBS, the series was a spin-off of The Sabrina the Teenage Witch segments from The Archie Comedy Hour. Produced by the legendary Filmation studio (led by Norm Prescott and Lou Scheimer), the show transformed classic horror icons like Dracula (Drac), Frankenstein’s Monster (Frankie), and the Wolfman (Wolfie) into groovy, joke-cracking musicians. The castle setting, “Horrible Hall,” served as a backdrop for a variety show format filled with puns and slapstick.

The theme song sets an inclusive, high-energy tone, inviting the audience to “join the Goolies.” Despite their “strange” appearances, the lyrics emphasize that the monsters are friendly and just want to have fun. This approach helped soften the horror elements for a younger audience. Over its 16 episodes, the show became a cult favorite, noted for its bright animation and a soundtrack that remains a pinnacle of Saturday morning cartoon pop.
