The Bugs Bunny Show Theme Song Lyrics
This folks is a warner brother television production
The Bugs Bunny Show
Overture curtains lights
This is it the night of nights
No more rehearsing and nursing a part
We know every part by heart
Overture curtains lights
This is it you’ll hit the heights
And oh what heights we’ll hit
On with the show this is it
Tonight what heights we’ll hit
On with the show this is it
