227 ("There's No Place Like Home" by Ray Colcord)

There's no place like home

With your family around you you're never alone

When ya know that your loved

You don't need to roam

Cause there's no place like home

 

Time's are changing everyday

We won't get by with the same old ways

No-oooo pulling together will make it right

With help from are friends I know we can right

 

Cause there's no place like home

With your family around you you're never alone

When you know that your loved

You don't need to roam

Cause there ain't no place like

Better believe it

I said their no place like home

"I mean no place child" .

I Love Lucy ("I Love Lucy" by Harold Adamson and Eliot Daniel)

There's a certain couple that I know.

They're strictly lovebirds,

A pair of turtle dove birds.

He's a guy who wants the world to know.

So ev'ry day

You'll hear him say

 

I Love Lucy and she loves me,

We're as happy as two can be,

sometimes we quarrel but then again

How we love making up again.

 

Lucy kisses like no one can,

She's my missus and I'm her man;

And life is heaven you see

Cause I Love Lucy

Yes I Love Lucy

and Lucy loves me.

I married Joan

What a girl, what a whirl, what a life.

Oh I married Joan

Never know where her brain has flown.

 

Each to his own

Can't deny that's why I married Joan.

The Patty Duke Show

Meet Cathy, who's lived most everywhere,

From Zanzibar to Barclay Square.

But Patty's only seen the sight.

A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights --

What a crazy pair!

 

But they're cousins,

Identical cousins all the way.

One pair of matching bookends,

Different as night and day.

 

Where Cathy adores a minuet,

The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,

Our Patty loves to rock and roll,

A hot dog makes her lose control --

What a wild duet!

 

Still, they're cousins,

Identical cousins and you'll find,

They laugh alike, they walk alike,

At times they even talk alike --

 

You can lose your mind,

When cousins are two of a kind.

The Andy Griffith Show ("The Fishin' Hole" by Everett Sloane, Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer)

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.

I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.

 

We'll have no need to call the roll when we get to The Fishin' Hole,

There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.

 

If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in dewy grass,

Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.

 

Hangin' around, takin' our ease, watchin' that hound a-scratchin' at his fleas.

 

Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,

I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.

But somehow it got unhitched.

But now I'm caught and I'm kinda glad

To be Bewitched.

F Troop ("F Troop" by Irving Taylor and William Lava)

The end of the Civil War was near

When quite accidentally,

A hero who sneezed abruptly seized

Retreat and reversed it to victory.

 

His medal of honor pleased and thrilled

his proud little family group.

While pinning it on some blood was spilled

And so it was planned he'd command F Troop.

 

Where Indian fights are colorful sights

and nobody takes a lickin'

Where pale face and redskin

Both turn chicken.

 

When killing and fighting get them down,

They know their morale can't droop.

As long as they all relax in town

Before they resume with a bang and a boom

F Troop.

Gilligan's Island ("The Ballad of Gilligan's Island" by George Wyle and Sherwood Shwartz)

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 sailing man,

The skipper brave and sure.

Five passengers set sail that day

For a three hour tour, 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 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.

 

So this is the tale of the castaways,

They're here for a long, long time,

They'll have to make the best of things,

It's an uphill climb.

 

The first mate and the Skipper too,

Will do their very best,

To make the others comfortable,

In the tropic island nest.

 

No phone, no lights no motor cars,

Not a single luxury,

Like Robinson Crusoe,

As primitive as can be.

 

So join us here each week my friends,

You're sure to get a smile,

From seven stranded castaways,

Here on "Gilligan's Isle."

Green Acres ("Green Acres" by Vic Mizzy)

Green acres is the place for me.

Farm livin' is the life for me.

Land spreadin' out so far and wide

Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

I get allergic smelling hay.

I just adore a penthouse view.

Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

...Fresh air.

...Times Square

 

You are my wife.

Good bye, city life.

Hogan's Heroes ("March" by Jerry Fielding, not used)

Heroes, heroes, husky men of war,

Sons of all the hreoes, of the war before.

We're all heroes up to our ear o's

You ask questions

We make suggestions

That's what we're heroes for.

 

All good heroes love a good, big fight

Open up the bomb bays and brighten up the night.

We applaud the people who laud us,

You pull the roses,

We punch the noses,

That's what we're heroes for.

 

What's a hero do?

Well, we're not gonna tell ya

Cause we wish we knew.

That's why we heroes are so few.

We've got a slogan

From Colonel Hogan

And Colonel Hogan's a hero too.

 

Never flinch, boys, never be afraid,

Heroes are not born, boys, heroes are made.

Ask not why, boys, never say die, boys,

Answer the call, remember we'll all be heroes forever more.

I Dream of Jeannie (Never actually aired) ("Jeannie" by Hugo Montenegro)

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.

It's About Time ("It's About Time" by Gerald Fried and Sherwood Schwartz)

It's about time,

It's about space,

About strange people in the strangest place.

It's about time,

It's about flight,

Travelin' faster than the speed of light.

 

About space people and a brave crew,

As through the barrier of time they flew.

Pass the Roman Senators,

Pass an armored knight,

Pass the firing Minutemen,

To this modern site.

 

It's about time for you and me

To meet these people of amazing feats.

It's about two astronauts and how they educate

A pre-historic woman and her pre-historic mate.

 

It's about time

It's about space

About strange people in the strangest place

They will be here

With all of us

Dodging a taxi, a car, a bus.

 

Where will they go

What will they do

In this strange place where everything is new.

Will they manage to survive

Watch each week and see.

Will they get accustomed to the Twentieth Century.

 

It's about time

For our good byes

To all our pre-historic gals and guys.

 

And now,

It's About Time

It's About Time

It's About Time

It's About Time!

She's a doll, she's a queen, she's a tantalizing teen.

And Karen, is her name (they call her Karen).

At a party she's a stomper and a rock and rollin romper.

Everybody's glad she came.

Hey that's Karen!

 

She sets her hair with great precision,

It's her favorite indoor sport,

And by the light of television,

She can even write a book report.

 

There is no one greater north or south of the equator,

Karen's always in a whirl

She's alarming but disarming, and a really very charming modern girl..

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,

And no one can talk to a horse of course

That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

 

Go right to the source and ask the horse

He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.

He's always on a steady course.

Talk to Mr. Ed.

 

People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day

But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.

 

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,

And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.

You never heard of a talking horse?

 

Well listen to this.

And I'm so glad she's near.

M*A*S*H ("Suicide is Painless" by Johnny Mandel)

Through early morning fog I see

visions of the things to be

the pains that are withheld for me

I realize and I can see...

 

[chorus]:

 

That suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

 

I try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

but now I know that it's too late, and...

 

[Chorus]

 

The game of life is hard to play

I'm gonna lose it anyway

The losing card I'll someday lay

so this is all I have to say.

 

[Chorus]

 

The only way to win is cheat

And lay it down before I'm beat

and to another give my seat

for that's the only painless feat.

 

[Chorus]

 

MASH

The sword of time will pierce our skins

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

 

[Chorus]

 

A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

'is it to be or not to be'

and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

 

'Cause suicide is painless

it brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

...and you can do the same thing if you choose.

Mary Tyler Moore Show ("Love is All Around" by Sonny Curtis)

Who can turn the world on with her smile?

Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?

Well it's you girl, and you should know it

With each glance and every little movement you show it

 

Love is all around, no need to waste it

You can have a town, why don't you take it

You're gonna make it after all

You're gonna make it after all

 

How will you make it on your own?

This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone

But it's time you started living

It's time you let someone else do some giving

 

Love is all around, no need to waste it

You can have a town, why don't you take it

You're gonna make it after all

You're gonna make it after all

Maude ("And Then There's Maude" by Dave Grusin and Andrew Bergman)

Lady Godiva was a freedom rider

She didnt' care if the whole world looked.

Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her

She was a sister who really cooked.

 

Isadora was the first bra burner

And you're glad she showed up. (Oh yeah)

And when the country was falling apart

Betsy Ross got it all sewed up.

 

And then there's Maude.

And then there's Maude.

And then there's Maude.

And then there's Maude.

And then there's Maude.

And then there's Maude.

And then there's

 

That old compromisin', enterprisin', anything but tranquilizing,

Right on Maude.

Nanny and the Professor (Theme by Steve Zuckerman and Fred Calvert)

Soft and sweet

Wise and wonderful

Oooh our mystical, magical nanny.

 

Since the day that nanny came to stay with us

Fantastic things keep happening.

Is there really magic in the things she does

Or is love the only magic thing that nanny brings

 

You know our nanny showed us you can make the impossible happen.

Nanny told us have a little faith and lots of love

 

Phoebe Figalilly is a silly name

And so many silly things keep happening

What is this magic thing about nanny

Is it Love? Or is it Magic?.

The Odd Couple (By Sammy Cahn and Neal Hefti)

No matter where they go

They are known as the couple.

They're never seen alone

So they're known as the couple.

 

As I've indicated

They are never quite separated,

They are peas in a pod.

Don't you think that it's odd.

 

Their habits, I confess

None can guess with the couple.

If one says no it's yes

more or less, with the couple.

 

But they're laugh provoking;

Yet they really don't know they're joking.

Don't you find

When love is blind

It's kind of odd.

One Day at a Time (Theme by John and Nancy Barry)

This is it. This is it.

This is life, the one you get

So go and have a ball.

 

This is it. This is it

Straight ahead and rest assured

You can’t be sure at all.

 

So while you’re here enjoy the view

Keep on doing what you do

So hold on tight we'll muddle through

One day at a time, One day at a time.

 

So up on your feet. Up on your feet

Somewhere there’s music playing.

Don’t you worry none

We’ll just take it like it comes.

 

One day at a time, one day at a time.

One day at a time, one day at a time.

One day at a time, one day at a time.

One day at a time, one day at a time.

WKRP in Cincinnati (Theme by T Wells and H Wilson)

Baby, if you've ever wondered,

Wondered whatever became of me,

I'm living on the air in Cincinnati,

Cincinnati, WKRP.

 

Got kind of tired packing and unpacking,

Town to town and up and down the dial

Maybe you and me were never meant to be,

But baby think of me once in awhile.

 

I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati..

Bosom Buddies ("My Life" by Billy Joel)

Got a call from an old friend

We used to be real close

Said he couldn't go on the American way

Closed the shop, sold the house

Bought a ticket to the West Coast

Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

 

CHORUS

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life

Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

 

I never said you had to offer me a second chance

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

I still belong, don't get me wrong

And you can speak your mind

But not on my time

 

They will tell you you can't sleep alone

In a strange place

Then they'll tell you you can't sleep

With somebody else

But sooner or later you sleep

In your own space

Either way it's okay

You wake up with yourself.

 Charles in Charge ("Charles in Charge" by Timothy Thompson)

New boy in the neighborhood

Lives downstairs and it is understood.

He’s there just to take good care of me,

Like he’s one of the family.

 

Charles in Charge

Of our days and our nights

Charles in Charge

Of our wrongs and our rights

 

And I sing, I want,

I want Charge in Charge of me.

 

Charles in Charge

Of our days and our nights

Charles in Charge

Of our wrongs and our rights

 

And I sing, I want,

I want Charge in Charge of me.

Cheers ("Where Everybody Knows Your Name" by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo)

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.

Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

 

Wouldn't you like to get away?

 

Sometimes you want to go

 

Where everybody knows your name,

and they're always glad you came.

You wanna be where you can see,

our troubles are all the same

You wanna be where everybody knows

Your name.

 

You wanna go where people know,

people are all the same,

You wanna go where everybody knows

your name.

A Different World ("A Different World" by Bill Cosby, Stu Gardner and Dawnn Lewis)

I know my parents love me,

Stand behind me come what may.

I know now that I'm ready,

Because I finally heard them say

It's a different world form where you come from.

 

Here's a chance to make it,

If we focus on our goals.

If you dish it we can take it,

Just remember you've been told

It's a different world form where you come from.

It's a different world form where you come from.

Empty Nest ("Life Goes On" by John Bettis and George Tipton)

Life goes on, and so do we,

Just how we do it is no mystery.

One by one (one by one), we fill the days,

We find a thousand different ways.

 

Sometimes the answer can be hard to find (hard to find),

That's something I will never be.

I'm always here, for anything you need (anything you need).

 

Rain or shine, I'll be the one,

to share it all as life goes on.

We share it all, as life goes on.

The Facts of Life ("The Facts of Life" by Alan Thicke, Gloria Loring and Al Burton)

There's a place you've got to go for learning

all you want to know about the facts of life

the facts of life.

 

When books are what you're there about

and looks are what you care about

the time is right,

to learn the facts of life.

 

When the world never seems

to be living up to your dreams

it's time you started finding out

what everything is all about

 

When the boys you used to hate you date,

I guess you best investigate

the facts of life you gotta get'em right

the facts of life,

the facts of life,

the facts of life

Family Matters ("As Days Go By" by Jesse Frederick, Bennet Salvay and Scott Roeme)

It's a rare condition, this day and age,

to read any good news on the newspaper page.

Love and tradition of the grand design,

some people say it's even harder to find.

 

Well then there must be some magic clue inside these tearful walls

Cause all I see is a tower of dreams

real love burstin' out of every seam.

 

As days go by,

we're gonna fill our house with happiness.

The moon may cry,

we're gonna smother the blues with tenderness.

 

When days go by,

there's room for you,

room for me,

for gentle hearts an opportunity.

 

As days go by,

it's the bigger love of the family.

Family Ties ("Without Us" by Jeff Barry and Tom Scott)

I bet we been together for a million years,

And I bet we'll be together for a million more.

 

Oh, It's like I started breathing on the night we kissed,

And I can't remember what I ever did before.

 

What would we do baby, Without Us?

What would we do baby, Without Us?

 

And there ain't no nothing we can't love each other through.

 

What would we do baby, Without Us?

 

Sha la la la.

Full House ("Everywhere You Look" by Jesse Frederick)

What ever happened to predictability?

The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV.

 

Everywhere you look , everywhere you go (there's a heart).

There's a heart

A hand to hold onto.

 

Everywhere you look , everywhere you go.

There's a face

Of somebody who needs you.

 

Everywhere you look,

When you're lost out there and you're all alone,

A light is waiting to carry you home,

Everywhere you look.

Everywhere you look.

Thank you for being a friend

Traveled down the road and back again

Your heart is true your a pal and a confidante.

Invited everyone you knew

You would see the biggest gift would be from me

And the card attached would say "Thank you for being a friend".

The Greatest American Hero ("Greatest American Hero (Believe it or Not)" by Mike Post and Stephen Geyer)

Look at what's happened to me,

I can't believe it myself.

Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,

It should've been somebody else.

 

Believe it or not,

I'm walking on air.

I never thought I could feel so free-.

Flying away on a wing and a prayer.

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me.

 

It's like a light of a new day-,

It came from out of the blue.

Breaking me out of the spell I was in,

Making all of my wishes come true-.

 

Believe it or not,

I'm walking on air.

I never thought I could feel so free-.

Flying away on a wing and a prayer.

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me.

Kate and Allie ("Friends" by John Lefler and Ralph Schuckett)

Just when you think there's no one around who's caring,

along comes a friend who offers a hand in sharing,

and things start looking fine.

and just when you think you're all by yourself, you're not.

We're friends forever.

It's you who will be there for me,

My friend.
