Lyrics for HR Puff-n-Stuff 70's Saturday morning show?
Duane and Ginger VandenBrink
Lately I have been thinking about a show I use to watch on Saturday
mornings as a child in the early 70's. It had large costumed characters
like, a dragon, witch, trees, houses. It seemed that most objects were
"alive" with a face and voice.
Am I hallucinating and/or having repressed memories?
If anyone else remembers such a show I would like to hear from you. I am
pretty sure there was an opening song as well. Anybody have the lyrics?
Thanks
Duane

Here you go. I'm not 100% certain about the chorus but the verses are
correct. The chorus *might* be something like:
H.R. Puff 'n' Stuff
*HE'S* your friend when things get rough
H.R. Puff 'n' Stuff
Can't do a little 'cause *HE* can't do enough
H.R. PUFF 'N' STUFF
-------------------
H.R. Puff 'n' Stuff
Who's your friend when things get rough?
H.R. Puff 'n' Stuff
Can't do a little 'cause you can't do enough
Once upon a summertime, just a dream from yesterday
A boy and his magic golden flute heard a boat from off the bay
"Come and play with me, Jimmy, come and play with me
And I will take you on a trip far across the sea"
But the boat belonged to a kooky old witch
Who had in mind the flute to snitch
From her broom-broom in the sky
She watched her plans materialize
She waved her wand, the beautiful boat was gone
The skies grew dark, the seas grew rough
And the boat sailed on and on and on and on and on and on
But Puff 'n' Stuff was watching too
And knew exactly what to do
He saw the witch's boat attack
And as the boy was fighting back
He called his Rescue Racer Crew
As often they'd rehearsed
And off to save the boy they flew
But who would get there first?
But now the boy had washed ashore
Puff arrived to save the day
Which made the witch so mad and sore
She shook her fists and screamed away
H.R. Puff 'n' Stuff
Who's your friend when things get rough?
H.R. Puff 'n' Stuff
Can't do a little 'cause you can't do enough
H.R. Puff 'n' Stuff
Who's your friend when things get rough?
H.R. Puff 'n' Stuff
Can't do a little 'cause you can't do enough

If your looking for a version of the song it can be found on the
"Saturday Morning-Cartoons' greatest hits" album. The album has songs
from our "generation" of saturday mornings' remade by alternative
groups.
