The (New) Tom &
Jerry Show's Main Title Theme Lyrics |
|

THE (NEW) TOM & JERRY SHOW'S
MAIN TITLE THEME
Words and Music by William Hanna, Joseph Barbera and
Hoyt Curtin; published by Anihanbar Music, Inc. (BMI)
Set your dial for a while!
Have a laugh, wear a smile!
It's The Tom & Jerry Show!
You'll begin with a grin
When you first tune us in
On The Tom & Jerry Show!
Introducing that
world-famous cat...TOM!
And that magnificent mouse...JERRY!
(instrumental solo)
Lots of zing, lots to
sing!
Everything's gonna swing!
So, get ready - here we go!
Big or small, short or tall,
You will all have a ball
On The Tom & Jerry Show!
Mark Yurkiw
provides us with info on the lyrics to the original theme
from New Tom & Jerry/Grape Ape
Show.
The original New Tom &
Jerry/Grape Ape Show
theme was the same melody that was heard at the top of the
cartoons when they were later shown alongside the classic
T&J cartoons in syndication, but the line "It's The
Tom And Jerry Show" originally was "It's Tom &
Jerry/Grape Ape Show."
When Mumbly was added, they
dubbed in a spoken voice after this line, saying "And
Mumbly too!" I don't remember
if there were any different lyrics, but there may well
have been. Also, there was a spoken part before the
instrumental break, and I don't remember the exact
wording, but it was something like "Introducing that
famous cat and mouse, Tom and Jerry, and (something
something something) The Great Grape
Ape!" Don't quote me on that, it's not verbatim.
This, of course, was changed on the reruns.
