Here are the lyrics for The Flintstones theme song.

Flintstones. Meet the Flintstones. They're the modern stone age family. From the town of Bedrock, They're a page right out of history.

Let's ride with the family down the street. Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet.

When you're with the Flintstones you'll have a yabba dabba doo time. A dabba doo time. You'll have a gay old time.

This is a video that uses The Flintstones to promote cigarettes.
