The words to the Howdy Doody song went like this:
It's Howdy Doody time, It's Howdy Doody time, Bob Smith and Howdy, too, Say, "Howdy Doo" to you. Let's give a rousing cheer, 'Cause Howdy Doody's here, It's time to start the show, So kids let's go!!!
Flub-a-dub was a strange little character, shaped more or less like someone's slipper. Flub's song went something like this:
Meatballs, meatballs, meatballs, meatballs, I love some meatballs, meatballs, meatballs and spaghetti, I'm always ready, to eat spaghetti.
Phineas T.Bluster had a brother or cousin who lived in South America, whose name was Don Jose Bluster. Don Jose introduced a mystery on the show--the mystery of L.L.L.L.L., which eventually was revealed to refer to the Lucky Left Leg of the Lima Llama.
