Look, I'm *sorry* to cross-post to so many newsgroups, but I've just GOTTA
find the answer to this!  I know that there are lyrics to the theme from
BONANZA -- Norm sang 'em on an episode of "Cheers" once.  Could someone mail
them to me?  I'll post the result to the net!

Check your local bookstore. I was listening to the radio one day and they
were interviewing a guy who had a book out that had words (and music, I
think) to a jillion or so old TV shows -- some that most people thought
were just instrumentals, e.g., Bonanza. He had his guitar with him and
sang a few of the ``choicer'' ones -- Bonanza was one of them...oooohhh,
Brother! Sorry, I don't actually remember any of the lyrics just now, but
I *do* remember them being absolutely AWFUL! Something along the lines of:
Oh, I've got a gun, and a horse, and a gal -- Bo-nan-za...
Anyway, good luck. Oh, and no I don't know the author's name, either.

P.S. These are the lyrics I've always used for the Bonanza Theme:
     "Boing-diddy-boing-diddy-boing-diddy-boing-diddy-boing-boing,
      boing-diddy-boing-diddy-boing-diddy-boing,
      boing-diddy-boing-boing-boing..."
