Family Ness opening theme tune lyrics

MacToot blows on his bagpipes [bagpipe sound]
While Elspeth and Angus watch those notes go floating across the waves!

Ferocious Ness appears at once, and grabs a note or two for lunch, [crunch, crunch]
And the whole of the Family Ness is not too far behind!

Sporty Ness leaps over him, turns upside down then dives back in,
And the beautiful Lovely Ness shows she's the kissing kind! [mwah]

Eyewit-Ness comes up for air and takein' notes without a care,
Then turns with a crash and a bash and a splash - to the Family Ness.

Family Ness closing theme tune lyrics

You can knock it,
You can rock it,
You can go to Timbuktu,
But you'll never find a Nessy in the zoo!
You may see an Anaconda, or Giraffe and Kangaroo,
But you'll never see a Nessy in a zoo!
