Have you tried looking in the 'TV Theme Song Book II' (or some title like
that). I saw the book only shortly in a bookstore and I thought the theme
was in there. For other theme songs, you can also check the 'TV Theme Song
Book', which I have a copy of. It has the themes for Addam's Family, Bonanza, 
( I didn't bring it in soon enough before the question for those lyrics were
posted) ,and even lyrics for Star Trek and Leave It To Beaver, to name just a 
few. Many of the songs come with the music so you can play them on your
favorite instrument.

How about this:

Come on now and meet everybody
And hear us singin'
There's nothing better than being together
When we're singin'

Five of us and Mom working all day
We knew we could make it if our music would pay
And Danny got Reuben to sell our song
And it really came together when Mom sang along

Come on now and meet everybody
And hear us singin'
There's nothing better than being together
When we're singin'
When we're singin'
When we're singin'


This is from memory, so there may be a word or two off:  I haven't seen any
Partridge Family reruns in a long time.

NOW -- for some true trivia:  can anyone recite the lyrics to the other TWO
theme songs?  The first theme appeared only on the pilot episode;  the second
is the one listed above, and the third had the same melody as the second, but
had different lyrics, and was called "Come on Get Happy."  Any takers?
     Any replies should be posted to a more appropriate newsgroup -- let's
keep this discussion to net.games.trivia where it belongs.

Uh, by the way, that was "lovely" not "lonely."  Just what kind of
show do you think that was?? :-)

I remember "Come On Get Happy," however, I don't remember the one you
posted... (though I did recognize about 3 of the lines but I thought 
the rest of the lyrics were very different, but I, too, haven't seen the
show in a long time, so you never know).  From a very old audio cassette
I made as a kid (don't ask me why, it's a long story):

Come on world, here's the song that we're singing
"Come on get happy."
A whole lot of lovin' is what we'll be bringing
We'll make you happy.
We had a dream we'd go travelin' together
We'd spread a little love and it would keep moving on
Something always happens whenever we're together
We get a happy feeling when we're singing a song.
Travelin' along there's a song that we're singing
"Come on get happy"
We'll make you happy.

I think it belongs in net.tv.  I feel like this is more tv
fandom than trivia (I know people who divide trivia into two categories:
REAL trivia and garbage trivia... guess where this would fall!).
