Theme Lyrics
In a 2010 interview on National Public Radio, Van Dyke revealed that Morey Amsterdam wrote a set of lyrics for the show's theme song:
- So you think that you've got troubles?
- Well, trouble's a bubble
- So tell old Mr. Trouble to get lost!
- Why not hold your head up high and
- Stop cryin', start tryin'
- And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed.
- When you find the joy of livin'
- Is lovin' and givin'
- You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed.
- A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down
- So smile, and that frown will defrost.
- And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed
- Bud-ump bump!

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or lyrics:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.”
—Amy Stewart (b. 1975)
