THE ZIPPY THEME SONG (lyrics by Fred Schneider)
Some say he was born on a distant planet 4,538 years ago
Others say he was sold for five hundred dollars
To a travelling carnival sideshow
But all I know is
Zippy! He’s the cool in Cool Whip
Zippy! He’s the blast in bean dip
Watch out! Yow! ‘Cause here he comes
A totally modular fellow
The maraschino in Jell-o
Zippy! What a baby boomer
Zippy! He’s a real consumer
If the rinse cycle of sorrow is spoilin’ your day
There’s a polka-dotted pinhead headin’ your way
Yow! Zippy! He put the whiz in the cheese
(His life’s a patio of fun)
Zippy! A heart as pure as Tastee Freeze
(With sunshine and astroturf and loads and loads of Ding Dongs)
Zippy! From Levittown to Rigel
Zippy! It’s taco sauce and Digel
The 24-hour shopping mall is where he’s at
Are we having fun yet?
Liz and Lonnie yell, "You bet!"
Zippy! From Mars to any Main Streeet
Zippy! It’s Cap’n Crunch and lunch meat
The polka-dotted pinhead that’s workin’ his way
In to your artificial hearts today
Zippy, Zippy, Zippy...
(scat break by Jon Hendricks)
Zippy! He put the Dream in the Whip
(Exciting as a Day Glo Tilt-a-whirl)
His mind’s a polysorbate trip
(With sunshine and astroturf and loads and loads of Ding Dongs)
Zippy! Why try it, he’ll like it
Zippy! Don’t test for safety, he’ll buy it
The 24-hour laundromat is where he’s at
Socialites from coast-to-coast
Even alien game show hosts want
Zippy! He’s hot as a wire
Zippy! Or a deep fat fryer
The polka-dotted pinhead with a ton of glamour
Livin’ in the fast lane at the Bowl-A-Rama
He’s the pearhead with the pow
He’s in the here and now
It’s Zippy!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Zippy!
It’s Zippy------Yow!
