Theme Song Lyrics
"Watch out...cause here we come!
It's been a while but we're back in style
So get set to have some fun
We'll bring you action and satisfaction
We're the chipmunks
C-H-I-P-M-U-N-K
We're the chipmunks
Guaranteed to brighten your day
When you feel like a laugh
Give us a call we'll give you our all
And if you feel like a song
Tune in to us and sing right along
We're the chipmunks
Coming on stronger than ever before
We're the chipmunks
Alvin, Simon, Theodore.
Do-do, do-do-do-do!"
