A few minutes ago I finally found the name of the theme of Bob McAllister’s kids’ show _Wonderama,_ beginning in the late 60s. I remember it played at the end while all the kids waved their arms up, side to side. Apparently its title is “I Ain’t Down Yet,” and it’s from _The Unsinkable Molly Brown._ I once heard a version of it played on radio, in the mid-60s’ the refrain had a line that sounded like “Honeystrom Jets” or something like that. Is there a place where I can find the lyrics?
