Theme from The Munsters" by Jack Marshall
[Em] When you are walking the [Am] street at night
And be [Em] hind you there's [D] no one in [Em] view
But you hear mysterious [Am] feet at night,
Then the [B7] Munsters are following [Em] you.
[Em] If you should meet this strange [Am] family
Just for [Em] get what some [D] people have [Em]said,
The Munsters may shake your hand [Am]clammily
But they're [B7]not necessarily [Em]dead.
Be[D7]hind their house you [G]mustn't be afraid
To [A7]see a figure [D7]digging with a [B7]spade.
Per[Em]haps someone didn't quite [Am]make the grade
With the [Em]Munsters, with the Munsters.
[Em] If when you're sleeping you [Am]dream a lot,
Ghoulish [Em]nightmares pa[D]rade through your [Em]head,
And then you wake up and [Am]scream a lot,
Oh the [B7]Munsters are under your [Em]bed.
At [Em] midnight if creatures should [Am] prowl about,
And if [Em]vampires and [D]vultures swoop [Em]down.
And werewolves and fiends shriek and [Am] howl about,
Oh the [B7] Munsters are out on the [Em]town.
One [D7]night I dared peek [G]through their window screen,
My [A7]hair turned white at [D7]such a crazy [B7]scene.
Be [Em] cause every evening it's [Am]Halloween
At the [Em]Munsters, at the Munsters.

I Dream of Jeannie! One of my favorite warm-up songs to play on ukulele :)



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.

The theme song for MASH was called "Suicide Is Painless". In the movie version, it had lyrics.

The music for the Tonight Show With Johnny Carson was written by Paul Anka. Before it was the Tonight Show theme, though, it was, in a slightly different form, a song Anka had written called "Toot Suite (It's Really Love)" that was recorded by Annette Funicello in 1959. When Anka gave the music to Carson, Carson wrote his own lyrics, which were never used and apparently never recorded, in order to get a co-writing credit and fifty percent of the royalties every time the song was played.

The Dick Van Dyke Show also had lyrics, never used, that were written by Morey Amsterdam, who played Buddy on the show.
