The Song That Doesn't End

The Song That Doesn't End AKA The Song That Never Ends is the closing theme of ''Lamb Chop's Play-Along. ''At the end of each episode, the puppets and children would sing several verses of the song while hostess Shari Lewis would try in vain to stop them. They would eventually leave (on her urging), even while beginning a sixth verse (which eventually fades away). Then the puppet character Charlie Horse would return and try to get to sing the song again. But Shari, however, stops him successfully by grabbing his mouth (keeping him from singing it again, before he tries to get to sing it) and orders him to "go away". Charlie Horse does leave but slams the door before Shari could tell him not to. After the door is slammed, she faces the audience with an exasperated expression and says "door", but at least is now in peace and quiet with Charlie, Lamb Chop, and the group gone.

Lyrics
This is the song that doesn't end

Yes, it goes on and on my friend

Some people started singing it not knowing what it was

And they'll continue singing it forever just because...

Trivia
A short rendition of the song appeared in a skit on the animated TV show Cartoon Planet (the skit is also featured on the companion album, Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que). Brak sings the song until he is asked to stop by Zorak, who finds it annoying. Brak explains that he is unable to because it's the "song that doesn't end." He attempts to continue until Zorak loses his temper, causing Brak to cease, remarking, "I guess it just ended."
