    Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days
    Thursday, Friday, Happy Days
    Saturday, what a day
    Rockin' all week with you

    This day is ours
    Won't you be mine? (Oh Happy Days)
    This day is ours
    Oh, please be mine (oh Happy Days)

    Hello sunshine, goodbye rain
    She's wearin' my school ring on a chain
    She's my steady, I'm her man
    I'm gonna love her all I can

    This day is ours
    Won't you be mine? (Oh Happy Days)
    This day is ours
    Oh, please be mine (oh Happy Days)

    Gonna cruise her 'round the town
    Show everybody what I've found
    Rock 'n' roll with all my friends
    Hopin' the music never ends

    This day is ours
    Won't you be mine? (Oh Happy Days)
    This day is ours
    Oh, please be mine (oh Happy Days)

    Sunday, Monday, Happy Days

    This day is ours
    Won't you be mine? (Oh Happy Days)
    This day is ours
    Oh, please be mine (oh Happy Days)

    Goodbye grey sky, hello blue
    'Cause nothing can hold me when I hold you
    It feels so right, can't be wrong
    Rockin' and rollin' all week long

    This day is ours
    Won't you be mine? (Oh Happy Days)
    This day is ours
    Oh, please be mine (oh Happy Days)

    Hello sunshine, goodbye rain
    She's wearin' my school ring on a chain
    She's my steady, I'm her man
    I'm gonna love her all I can

    Won't you be mine? (Oh Happy Days)
    These Happy Days are yours and mine
    Oh, please be mine (oh Happy Days)
    These Happy Days are yours and mine
    Won't you be mine? (Oh Happy Days)

  • Barry from Sauquoit, Ny"Yeeap, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep"
    Al Molinaro, who played Al Delvecchio, the owner of Arnold's Drive-In on the ABC-TV sitcom 'Happy Day' between the years 1974 and 1984, passed away on Friday, October 30th, 2015 at the age of 96...
    May he R.I.P.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn June 25th 1976, Pratt and McClain performed "Happy Days" on the NBC-TV program 'The Midnight Special'...
    At the time of this appearance on the show the song was at #32 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart...
    (See posts below).
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn May 8th 1976, Pratt & McClain performed "Happy Days" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'...
    (See below post for chart info).
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyIt was the 'Love and Happy Days' episode on the TV series 'Love, American Style' that preceded both 'American Graffiti' (premiered on August 1st, 1973) and the TV series 'Happy Days' (debut January 15th, 1974)...
    The 'Love and Happy Days' episode originally aired on February 25th, 1972; Ron Howard played Richie, Marion Ross was Mrs. Cunningham, but actor Harold Gould portrayed Mr. Cunningham.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn January 15th 1974, the 30-minute sitcom 'Happy Days' debut on the ABC-TV network...
    The series ran from 1974 to 1984 with a grand total of 255 episodes...
    As already stated Bill Haley & the Comets' "Rock Around the Clock" was the opening theme in 1974 & 1975...
    Then Pratt and McClain's "Happy Days" became the show's theme song from 1976 to 1983, and in the show's final year Bobby Arvon performed the theme song...
    Pratt and McClain's version entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart on March 28th, 1976 and on May 30th it peaked at #5 (for 2 weeks) and spent 14 weeks on the Top 100 (and 5 of those 14 weeks were on the Top 10)......
    Only Henry Winkler (Fonzie), Marion Ross (Mrs. Cunningham), and Tom Bosley (Mr. Cunningham) appeared all 255 episodes.
  • Mark from London, EnglandLike the film which spawned it - American Graffitti - Happy Days is more about when the 50s became the 60s, so Rock Around The Clock is a bit of an anachronism. Remember Harrison Ford's character's quote in the film: "Rock and roll died when Buddy Holly died"...
  • Lalah from Wasilla, AkThey should have kept the Bill Haley song. It worked better for the show. It wasn't long after the show changed the opening song that we'd sing the lyrics "Sunday, Monday, change the station" . . . and that's when you had to walk up to the TV and turn a dial.
