Yipee yi-o ki-a
Galloping all the way
Great big star on his chest
Outdraws all of the rest
Fastest gun in the west
Yipee yi-o ki-a
Riding around your way
Here comes Quick Draw McGraw
The high-falutin'est
Fastest shootin'est
Cowboy you ever saw
That's Quick Draw McGraw

Quick Draw, Baba Looey, Augie Doggie, Doggie Daddy, Snooper and Blabber would go on to make several appearances as either co-stars or guest stars in several subsequent crossover TV series and TV movies that followed in the decades to come from Hanna-Barbera right until the 1990s. Except for Snooper and Blabber, they also all guest starred in the 2000s spinoff parody series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law on Adult Swim.
There have been several attempts to revive Quick Draw McGraw for a new audience but every attempt to do so has been shot down by either Hanna-Barbera or Warner Bros. Many of the projects included two films in the late 1980s; one that Tom Ruegger and John K. Ludin originally pitched, but Joseph Barbera wasn't interested and instead tasked them with an idea he had called The Good, the Bad, and the Huckleberry.[1] and another called Quickest Draw in the West, that never made it past the concept art,[2] and during the early 2010s, a spaghetti western series made by Book of Life and El Tigre creator Jorge R.
