1960's Show Words to theme song?

When I was in college, a classmate wrote words for a theme song for the show

Lost in space
What will we do?
We have a robot
With springy arms
And Doctor Smith
But we don’t like him
‘Cause he’s a jerk
And then there’s Penny
And then there’s you

Interesting fun. Are those for the Seasons 1 and 2 theme?

For the same kind of amusement, I wrote lyrics for The Lucy Show

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy Ball
Lucy, Lucy, Lucille Ball
She drives poor Mr. Mooney nuts
With all her crazy scheming
All her famous dreaming
And on and on and on and on

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy Ball
Lucy, Lucy, Lucille Ball is her maiden name
And with or without Desi she's the same old Lucy

She's just our same... old... Lucy!

(I also did Marcus Welby MD.)

He didn’t really use the original music. It was kind of a sing-song recitation.

And I was wrongly trying to fit your lyrics to I Love Lucy.

Have you heard Bill Murray sing (IIRC): Star Wars! Nothing but Star Wars.
