Welcome to Wisconsin lyrics
Welcome to Wisconsin
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
