Theme Song Lyrics[]
- Back in the day in old Habana
- Was a pint size pachyderm he wanna
- Make a swingin' jazz combo
- (Jumbo!)
- Blows his nose, drives you and me nuts
- Happy just to play for peanuts
- Wails on that trunk, hey go cat go
- (Jumbo!)
- That beat sneaks under your skin
- It's the jumpin'est band alive
- He's so hep and he'll never forget
- How to keep in step when he bops that jive
- Easter Sunday plays the plaza
- His critter combo jams the jazz-a
- Play that proboscis, go, man, go
- (Jumbo!)
- (J-U-M-B-O, Jumbo!)
