Popular Lyrics

The Addams Family

Show Full Lyrics

They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky. They’re altogether ooky, the Addams Family. (Snap! Snap!) Their house is a museum, where people come to see ’em. They really are a scream, the Addams Family.

Neat! Sweet! Petite! So get a witch’s shawl on, a broomstick you can crawl on. We’re gonna pay a call on, the Addams Family! (Snap! Snap!)

Gilligan’s Island

Show Full Lyrics

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailin’ man, the Skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day, for a three-hour tour.

The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost. The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle… With Gilligan, the Skipper too, the Millionaire and his wife, the Movie Star, the Professor and Mary Ann, here on Gilligan’s Isle!

Beverly Hillbillies

Show Full Lyrics

Come and listen to a story ’bout a man named Jed. A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed. Then one day he was shootin’ at some food, and up through the ground come a bubblin’ crude. (Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea).

Well the first thing you know old Jed’s a millionaire. Kinfolk said “Jed move away from there!” Said “Californy is the place you ought to be.” So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly. (Hills, that is. Swimmin’ pools, movie stars).

Green Acres

Show Full Lyrics

Green Acres is the place to be, farm livin’ is the life for me. Land spreadin’ out so far and wide—keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

(Lisa): New York is where I’d rather stay. I get allergic smellin’ hay. I just adore a penthouse view. Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue!

(Oliver): The chores! (Lisa): The stores! (Oliver): Fresh air! (Lisa): Times Square! (Oliver): You are my wife. (Lisa): Goodbye, city life! (Both): Green Acres we are there!

The Brady Bunch

Show Full 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 mother, the youngest one in curls.

Here’s the story, of a man 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 it was much more than a hunch, that this group would somehow form a family. That’s the way we all became the Brady Bunch!

Batman

Show Full Lyrics

Batman! Batman! Batman!

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na Batman! Batman! Batman!

(Note: Specifically calls for eleven “Na”s before the first “Batman” call).

The Flintstones

Show Full Lyrics

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones! They’re the modern Stone Age family. From the town of Bedrock, they’re a page right out of history. Let’s ride with the family down the street. Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.

When you’re with the Flintstones, have a yabba-dabba-doo time, a dabba-doo time, we’ll have a gay old time!

The Andy Griffith Show

Show Full Lyrics

(Song: “The Fishin’ Hole”). Well now, take down your fishin’ pole and meet me at the fishin’ hole. We may not get a bite all day, but don’t you rush away. What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin’ stones.

You’ll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin’ in the shade. Whether it’s hot, whether it’s cool, oh what a spot for whistlin’ like a fool!

Hogan’s Heroes

Show Full Lyrics

Heroes, heroes, husky men of war. Sons of all the heroes of the war before. We’re all heroes up to our ear-o’s. You ask the questions, we make suggestions, that’s what we’re heroes for!

All good heroes love a good big fight. Open up the bomb bays, brighten up the night. We are known for solving a quarrel. You throw the roses, we punch the noses, that’s what we’re heroes for!

Bewitched

Show Full Lyrics

Bewitched, bewitched, you’ve got me in your spell. Bewitched, bewitched, you know your craft so well. Before I knew what you were doin’, I looked in your eyes. That brand of woo that you’ve been brewin’ took me by surprise.

You witch, you witch, one thing is for sure. That stuff that you pitch just hasn’t got a cure. My heart was under lock and key, but somehow it got unhitched. I never thought my heart could be had, but now I’m caught and I’m kinda glad to be… bewitched!
