Richie Cunningham: Dateline, 1959. This is Edward R. Murrow. Tonight, I’m reporting from Milwaukee, Wisconsin…where there’s nothing to report. Actually, I’m Richie Cunningham and this is an Ace Bran comb. But the rest of it is true! We might be square but there’s a whole world out there that’s hip and happening! The decade’s ending, it’s a whole new deal We’re graduating, life’s getting real And they say the world is shrinking, That the rules are changing fast, Better memorize things as they are It’s a world that may not last Right now, this is where I live. In a perfect house with a perfect lawn, with my perfect mid-west family. Howard: Calm down, Joanie! Why can’t you be more like your brother Richard? Joanie: But you wouldn’t have to drive me to baton twirling lessons if I had a car! Marion: Your father’s going to buy you a car, dear. Just as soon as he finds one with no backseat! Richie: I’m Richie Cunningham I’ll document these days Of hoo-la-hoops and poodle skirts The latest TV craze I’ll write of old Milwaukee And I’ll always write the truth About this frozen city Where I shiver through my youth I graduate high school in a few weeks, and then I am out of here. I’m blowing this pop stand and going to see the world! Until then, I know just where to go to find out what’s happening in this town. The center of all communication. London has the BBC, New York has the Times… We have Arnold’s! Teens: Sock hops, soda pop Meeting at the malt shop Part of growing up around here Welcome to Wisconsin Make yourself to home Richie: Make mine malted with two straws! Teens: Duck tails, rock n’ roll Learning how to do the stroll ?????? Happens in Wisconsin Make yourself to home Ralph: Hey Richie. Potsie: We missed you at rehearsal yesterday. Richie: These are my friends, Ralph and Potsie. Chachi: I cut shop class to rehearse! Richie: And that’s Chachi. We have a singing group, The Dialtones! Ralph/Chachi/Potsie/Richie: Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Wah! Teens: ???, he’s the perfect hero But he’s second best Girls: There’s one that’s dreamy that gets me screaming Teens: Much cooler than the rest Fonzerelli Arthur Fozerrelli! Fonzie: I think I heard my name. Teens: The Fonze! Fonzie: Ayy… (Teens talk at once to talk to Fonzie) Fonzie: Hold that thought. Anybody in my office, red? Richie: No, Fonzie. The men’s room is empty. Fonzie: Good. There’s a phone number on the wall I’ve been meaning to try. Richie: Every story’s got to have hero Nothing more important to the plot Well he’s got to have courage and he’s got to be strong Girls: The one word description is hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Fonzie: Friday night and all is right for teens and dreamers Monkey stars and spudnik up above All: Ah Fonzie: Me and Elvis putting up with fans and screamers Friday night’s the night they fall in love All: Ooh Why-yi-yi-yi Ooh Why-yi-yi Wah-ooh Fonzie: Look at these kids, they’re a noisy bunch All: Wah, wah-ooh Fonzie: But good guys, rockin’ dolls All: Wah, wah-ooh Fonzie: Typical teens from hometown USA All: Wah! Wah-ooh Fonzie: They’re raised on white bread and apple pie All: Wah, wah-ooh Fonzie: They’re not all champions, but they always try All: Wah, wah-ooh Fonzie: But they come to me for answers All: Wah, wah-ooh Fonzie: And they treasure each thing I say All: Wah, wah-ooh Fonzie: And they treat me like a hero All: Wah-ooh Wah! Fonzie: And they’ll always be that way (simultaneously) Richie: I’m Richie Cunningham I’ll document these days Of hoo-la-hoops and poodle skirts The latest TV craze Teens: Sock hops, soda pop Meeting at the malt shop Part of growing up around here Welcome to Wisconsin Make yourself to home Harold: A family called Arnold’s Richie: I’ll raise journalist’s big standards Till they’re high as tights Teens: Duck tail, rock n’ roll Learning how to do the stroll ?????? Happens in Wisconsin Make yourself to home All: Sunday, Monday Happy Days (???????) All: These days are ours These happy days are yours and mine These happy days are yours and My happy days [Thanks to Ashley for lyrics]
