It's witty, it's sophisticated, it's incomprehensible. TV's least audible theme song can almost be heard on CBS' Saturday morning show Pee-wee's Playhouse, where it's sung by a voice that sounds as if Alvin and the Chipmunks had discovered laughing gas. (It's actually an uncredited Cyndi Lauper.) So here are the words behind that slurry, blurry opening-as written by Paul Reubens (he's Pee-wee) and George McGrath: Come on in and pull yourself up a chair. (Like Chairy!) Let the fun begin, it's time to let down your hair. Pee-wee's sure excited (Uh-huh!) 'Cause all his friends have been invited (That's you!) To go wacky at Pee-wee's Playhouse.
There's a crazy rhythm coming from Puppet Land. (What's that?) ) Dirty Dog, Cool Cat, Chicky Baby are the Puppet Band. (Yeah!) He's got a couple of talking fish and a genie who'll grant a wish. Golly, it's cuckoo at Pee-wee's Playhouse.
Globey's spinning, Mr. Window's grinning 'cause Pterri's flying by. The Flowers are singing, the Picture Phone is ringing, And the Dinosaur Family goes ''Hi.'' Mr. Kite's soaring, Conky's still a-snoring, There's the flashing Magic Screen. The Cowntess is so classy, Randy's kind of sassy- A nuttier establishment you've never seen. Spend the day with Pee-wee and you'll see what we mean. (Come on!)
Get out of bed, there'll be no more napping (Wake up!) 'Cause you've landed in a place where anything can happen. Now we've given you fair warning: It's gonna be that kind of morning. For being wacky, for getting nutty, Golly, it's cuckoo at Pee-wee's Playhouse.
