Hey - that's a short version.  What about the part where it goes "People yakkety yak a streak and waste the time of day.  But Mr. Ed would never speak - unless he had something to say!"

Speaking of Johnny's, we can't forget Johnny Rivers singing the theme to Secret Agent Man

One last Johnny and I gotta run....Carson was my favorite late night show in the 70's and 80's.
Since Leno took over, I don't think I have watched it twice.

From 1963, Johnny Carson

Rats, that was a short version.  Here is one that is not necessarily the theme, as it has more photos, but it does have the lines you mentioned.

I believe that the 'Scooby Doo' opening theme is one of the reasons for the success of that silly show!
The opening theme is fantastic and still one of my all time fav-raves!
