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.
