Opening theme song lyrics

Are some, many little folks living in a place called Trolltown!
Funniest little ol' folks you ever will meet.
At the bottom of the tree is the tiny little house they live in.
Fencing up a storm in a tiny Trolltown Street.
They call em', Trollkins! The good ol', Trollkins!
Their bout as big as you and me, and if you look you just might see em'
Trollkins! The good ol', Trollkins!
Tootin' and a fussin' in a Trolltown memory.


They call em', Trollkins! The good ol', Trollkins!
Feudin' and a fussin in a Trolltown jamboree!
Reeeeeee!
