Theme Song Lyrics
Jeannie fresh as a daisy
Just love how she obeys me
Does things that just amaze me so
She smiles Presto the rain goes
She blinks up come the rainbows
Cars stop even the train goes slow
When she goes by
She paints sunshine on every rafter
Sprinkles the air with laughter
We’re close as a quarter after three
There’s no one like
Jeannie I’ll introduce her
To you but it’s no use sir
Cause my Jeannie’s in love with me
