Theme song lyrics

You don't need pants for the victory dance
Cuz Baboon's better than Weasel
I.R. Baboon big star of cartoon

I.M. Weasel: I am Weasel!

I.R. Baboon reigns king in his mind
He's just as good as the weaselly kind
But 'round every corner he's likely to find

I.M. Weasel: I am Weasel [repeat 2x]
