Lyrics to the FTP promotional theme song
(sung to the Star Spangled Banner, "Oh say can you see?🎵"):
0 say, can you sing—dance—or act? If you can, it's a well established fact
That Uncle Sam will take you in— Break you in— Make you in—to Anything you could desire.
Uncle Sammy wants to hire— Actors with dramatic fire— Singers who to fame aspire— Dancers who can kick—but higher. Uncle Sam will take a flier— Which is why we all inquire— "O Say Can You Sing—Dance—or Act?"
