Theme Song
Tom Terrific's theme song
Terrytoons presents:
The real, great adventures of me, Tom Terrific! I'm Tom Terrific,
with Mighty Manfred, the Wonder Dog!
Teeeeeee-Rif-ic!
I'm Tom Terrific, greatest hero ever!
Terrific is the name for me, 'cause I'm so clever.
I can be what I want to be, and if you'd like to see,
Follow, and follow me! If you see a plane up-high,
A diesel train go roaring by.
A bumble bee, or a tree, it's me! When there is trouble,
I'm there on the double.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
They know Tom Terrific! Aaand, I'm Mighty Manfred, the Wonder dog,
Aaand Tom's ever faithful companion.
Crabby Appleton's theme song:
My name is Crabby Appleton,
and I am simply awful.
It does my heart a lot of good
to do a deed unlawful!
I'm fond of gloom, impending doom,
I think good deeds are sappy!
I laugh with glee, it pleases me
when everyone's unhappy.
– (last verse sung in a low voice)
Crabby Appleton's theme also had a variation:
My name is Crabby Appleton,
I'm rotten to the core.
I do a bad deed every day,
and sometimes three or four.
I can't stand fun for anyone,
I think good deeds are sappy,
I laugh with glee, it pleases me,
when everyone's unhappy.
– (last verse sung in a low voice)

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or song:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“A song is no song unless the circumstance is free and fine. If a singer sing from a sense of duty or from seeing no way to escape, I had rather have none. Those only can sleep who do not care to sleep; and those only write or speak best who do not too much respect the writing or the speaking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
