Theme Song Lyrics

The biggest show in town is Huckleberry Hound

For all you guys and gals.

The biggest clown in town is Huckleberry Hound

With all his cartoon pals.


It's Huckleberry fun, it's for everyone,

So come on, gather 'round.

Get yourself all set,

Turn on your TV set

For Huckleberry Hound.


That oh, so merry, Chuckleberry,

Huckleberry Hound.
