Lyrics
The opening and closing lyrics are roughly the same, with a single verse differing.
Opening
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones,
They're the modern stone-age family.
From the town of Bedrock,
They're a page right out of history.
Let's ride with the family down the street,
Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet.
When you're with the Flintstones,
You'll have a yabba doo time,
A dabba doo time,
You'll have a gay old time.
Closing
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones,
They're the modern stone-age family.
From the town of Bedrock,
They're a page right out of history.
Some day, maybe Fred will win the fight,
And that cat will stay out for the night.
When you're with the Flintstones,
You'll have a yabba doo time,
A dabba doo time,
You'll have a gay old time.
