[net.tv] Bugs Bunny lyrics request

megabyte@chinet.UUCP (Mark E. Sunderlin) (03/17/86)

Can anyone help me remember the lyrics to the theme song of the old
   "Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show".  I watched it the other morning and
to my horror they have changed the theme.  
   Here is what I remeber:

"Overture, hit the lights, this is it, the night of nights"
(here's the part I don't remeber)
"And oh what heights we'll hit! On with the show this is it!"

Was this song composed for the show? I seem to remeber it be of
Broadway overture quality, even with an instermental interlude as
the characters marched on stage! Any info on this will be
appriciated.  Send me mail and I will sumerize(sic) to the net.

ok, here goes...

Overture, hit the lights, 
this is it, we'll hit the heights,

no more rehearsing and nursing a part,
we know every part by heart.

overture, hit the lights,
this is it, we'll hit the heights,
and, oh, what heights we'll hit,
ON WITH THE SHOW, THIS IS IT !!!

(then came the fanfare where all the characters marched out
on stage...)

and, oh, what heights we'll hit,
ON....WITH THE SHOW.....THIS IS IT!!!!

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=

At least I THINK that's what they are.  If not, at least it may
have nudged your memory enough to remember the rest of the song.
Glad I could help....

I always thought it was: "Overture, curtain, lights..."

Yes, Indeed!

"Overture! Cut the lights!
This is it-this is the night!
No more rehearsing and nursing a part-
We know every part by heart!

Overture!  Cut the lights!
This is it!  We'll hit the heights!
And oh what heights we'll hit--
On with the show-this is it! "

I have been singing this song since I was about five or
six (26 now).  I think I am at least 99 & 44/100 %
correct.

A wascally wabbit fan from way back...................
