- Opening theme song lyrics
They call him Kwicky, Koala, he is very tricky at the bottom.
Every time you think you will, that's when he wonks.
First you think you got him, and then you don't.
He's a quickie, koala, it's The Kwicky Koala Show!
Also starring the Bungle Brothers, the biggest little act in show biz.
And Dirty Dawg, and his sidekick, Ratso, forever in search of that pot of stew at the end of the rainbow.
Along with Crazy Claws, the wild cat with a sharp wit and claws to match.
They join the world's fastest Australian bear.
First you think you got, and then you don't, he's a quickie, koala.
It's The Kwicky Koala Show!
