The theme song for Lamb Chop's Play-Along! started every episode for the series and was on its home video releases. The song talks about how there's tons of good things at the Play-Along Farm. The song was written by Norman Martin, who has composed the score and other music used for the show.
Lyrics[]
- Shari Lewis: If you're into fun, and you love to play...
- Lamb Chop: If you like funny jokes that put you away!
- Hush Puppy: If you like to dance to a slammin' sound, and you like havin' lots of friends around!
- Lamb Chop: And if you're one of those kids who lives by the rule that sad is bad and happy is COOL!
- Shari Lewis: Ooh, little buddy, you're about to see you're in the very best place that you could be!
All:
- HEY! it's Lamb Chop's Play-Along!
- Where kids come to play-along!
- And fun things are all we ever do!
- YEAH!!! it's Lamb Chop's Play-Along!
- Come join the kids, and play-along!
- We gotta lotta good stuff for YOU!!!
- Bounce your bottom in your chair
- Bounce it here, bounce it there
- And with tender love and care
- Bounce it, bounce it, everywhere
- Bounce it fast, bounce it slow
- Bounce it HIGH!!! bounce it LOW!!!
- Sing while you bounce along
- One more chorus of the song...
- Lamb Chop's Play-Along!
- Where kids come to play-along!
- And fun things are all we ever do!
- YEAH!!! it's Lamb Chop's Play-Along!
- Join the kids, and play-along!
- We gotta lotta good stuff for you!
- And you! (x4)
- Yeah, and especially you!

Alternate lyrics[]
In some episodes, these lyrics replaced the "bouncing" part of the song:
- Make a muscle, squeeze it TIGHT!
- Really squeeze with all your might!
- Now the other arm, let me see...
- Just how strong you've grown to be!
- Make two muscles, left and right.
- C'mon and pump it up outta sight!
- Hey, you're gettin' strong!
- Now let's go back to the song...
