H R Pufnstuf- Theme Song
Beginning with the premiere of "H.R. Pufnstuf" on Saturday mornings in the psychedelic 60's and running throughout the dawn of the Reagan-era in the '80s, Sid and Marty Krofft mesmerized an entire generation with their extraordinary "living cartoons." This show captured the imagination of a generation for these surreal stories, hypnotic colors, and a maddening mix of real life and master puppetry. This story of a boy, his magic flute, a witch, and the giant Pufnstuf, the friendly Mayor of Living Island. Stories usually revolved around Witchiepoo (Billy Hayes) and her henchman hatching nefarious plots against the young Jimmy (Jack Wild) in an effort to steal his Magical Flute Freddy (voice of Joan Gerber) as Pufnstuf and friends help foil her attempts.

Lyric:
 
H.R. Pufnstuf
H.R. Pufnstuf,
He's your friend when things get rough.
H.R. Pufnstuf
Can't do a little cause he can't do enough.
 
Once upon a summertime
Just a dream from yesterday
A boy and his magic golden flute
Heard a boat from off the bay
"Come and play with me, Jimmy
Come and play with me.
And I will take you on a trip
Far across the sea."
 
But the boat belonged to a kooky old witch
Who had in mind the flute to snitch
From her broom broom in the sky
She watched her plans materialize
She waved her wand
The beautiful boat was gone
The skies grew dark
The sea grew rough
And the boat sailed on and on and on and on and on and on.
 
But Pufnstuf was watching too
And knew exactly what to do
He saw the witch's boat attack
And as the boy was fighting back
He called his rescue racer crew
As often they'd rehearsed
And off to save the boy they flew
But who would get there first...
 
But now the boy had washed ashore
Puf arrived to save the day
Which made the witch so mad and sore
She shook her first and screamed away.
 
H.R. Pufnstuf,
Who's your friend when things get rough
H.R. Pufnstuf
Can't do a little cause he can't do enough.
 
H.R. Pufnstuf,
Who's your friend when things get rough
H.R. Pufnstuf
Can't do a little cause he can't do enough.
