Opening Theme Music
The dubious efficiency of F Troop is clarified in the show's opening theme. The words of the song (by Irving Taylor) were only used in the first season's opening credits, along with comical F Troop battle scenes intercut with stock Hollywood Western footage. The second season opening credits used only the instrumental ending part, over still cartoon scenes and caricatures of the main cast.
- The end of the Civil War was near
- When quite accidentally,
- A hero who sneezed, abruptly seized
- Retreat and reversed it to victory!
- His Medal of Honor pleased and thrilled
- His proud little family group;
- While pinning it on, some blood was spilled
- And so it was planned he'd command... F TROOP!
-
- Where Indian fights are colorful sights
- And nobody takes a lickin',
- Where paleface and redskin
- Both turn chicken!
- When drilling and fighting get them down
- They know their morale can't droop
- As long as they all relax in town
- Before they resume with a bang and a boom... F TROOP!
