Television/TV Theme Lyrics - 80s 90s soundtrack – ("According to Our New Arrivals" by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart-Angelo) - Mr. Belvedere lyrics

Streaks on the china,
never mattered before,
who cared.

When you dropped kicked your jacket
As you came through the door,
No one glared.

But sometimes things get turned around
And no one’s spared.

All hands look out below
There’s a change in the status quo.
Gonna need all the help that we can get.

According to our new arrival
Life is more than mere survival
We just might live the good life yet.

LONG VERSION by Gary Portnoy:

Streaks on the china
never mattered before...
who cared?
When you drop kicked your jacket
as you came through through the door,
no one glared.
But, sometimes things get
turned around,
and no one's spared...

All hands look out below!
There's a change in the status quo.
We're gonna need all the help
that we can get,
but we just might live the good life yet.

The chips and the soda
made a night in the den so sweet,
and the leftover pizza
made your breakfast at ten what a treat!
But now we're dining at seven
with the table set...
and we just might
live the good life yet.

Life has a way of taking you by surprise...
A roll of the dice
and you're living it up-
giving it up!

A fight to the finish
never ended with tea,
no way!
And you shared all your troubles
with your friend the TV every day...
but now it seems this new regime
is here to stay.

Get set for the last hurrah,
Moving on to the la-di-dah.
We're gonna need all the help
that we can get!

According to our new arrival,
life is more than mere survival.
And we just might
live the good life yet...

We're on our way to realizin'
we're headed for a new horizon,
and we just might live the good life yet!
