Begorrah me heart is all of a dither
Whenever she passes by
Begorrah there's always somebody with her
But let 'em all go to the divil says I
Skipping along as light as a feather
And leading the boys a dance
And all of the time I'm wondering whether
I'm going to be given the ghost of a chance
Night and day I wouldn't be letting her
Far away from out of me sight
All the other follows are getting
As mad as a hatter but what does it matter
Begorrah at last I've managed to get her
The sun has begun to shine
She's made up her mind there's nobody better
Begorrah tomorrow she's going to be mine
Heigh ho tomorrow is me wedding day
So tonight I'm proud to say I'm having a party
Heigh ho you'll find me just across the way
Singing and making a heck of a noise
Drowning me sorrows with all of the boys
Heigh ho I'm off to paint the town tonight
Turn it upside down tonight, oh boy what a party
Heigh ho get everybody around tonight
Beat the drum, and get all the people to come
Begorrah at last I've managed to get her
The sun has begun to shine
She's made up her mind there's nobody better
Begorrah tomorrow she's going to be mine

The show also had to theme songs for segments. One was
Irish Washerwoman, a traditional instrumental, and The Children's Marching Song (from the movie
The Inn of the Sixth Happiness), traditional - adapted from the nursery rhyme
Nick Nack Paddy Wack, originally adapted by Malcolm Arnold for the Mitch Miller Orchestra.
