The Toy Parade, AKA The Leave It To Beaver Theme

("The Toy Parade" by Dave Kahn, Melvyn Leonard and Mort Greene) - Leave it to Beaver Lyrics
Hey! Here they come with a rum-tee tum they're having a toy parade.
A tin giraffe with a fife and drum is leading the kewpie parade.
A gingham cat in a soldier's hat is waving a Chinese fan,
A plastic clown in a wedding gown is dancing with Raggedy Ann.
Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're crossing the living room floor
Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're up to the dining room door.
They call a halt for a choc'late malt or cookies and lemonade
Then off they go with a ho ho ho right back to their toy brigade.

Hey! Here they come with a rum-tee-tum they're having a toy parade.

A tin giraffe with a fife and drum is leading the kewpie brigade.

A gingham cat in a soldier's hat is waving a Chinese fan,

A plastic clown in a wedding gown is dancing with Raggedy Ann.

Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're crossing the living room floor

Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're up to the dining room door

They call a halt for a choc'late malt or cookies and lemonade

Then off they go with a ho ho ho right back to their toy parade

The lyrics (by Mort Greene) were never heard in the series. This is a 1958 recording, released during the show's first season.

Sweet!!

Any chance you could also post a pic of the record itself? As I recall it was a yellow 78 RPM and was a bit smaller thatn a 45 RPM record.

@FRUITGRAPES It surely was! We need to go back to those days! I'm obssessed with this song!
