Theme song

Here comes Leonardo, Leonardo Lion
King of Bongo Congo, the hero lion of iron
Where Leonardo travels, his subjects all go, too
There's Odie-o Cologne, who's loyal and true blue

I say, there's a boomin' Hunter and wily witty Fox
And Tooter, who brings fun to you you from Wizard's magic box

(following bridge used in ending)
You'll see the funniest things happening on the show
The kingly cartoon with the kingly buffoon
Who has his share of woe

Good King Leonardo has his enemies
Biggy with his pistols and Itchy with his fleas
They plot against the kingdom to overthrow the King
Looks like Leonardo has had his royal fling

But Odie-o Cologne steps in to change the play
The loyal skunk with skill and spunk comes through to save the day

You'll find adventure of thrills, laughter a minute, too
You musn't miss excitement like this
Or Hunter may hunt you

Let's watch Leonardo, all his subjects, too
Odie-o Cologne, the Fox and Hunter, too
Tooter and the Wizard, they're ready, set to go
So everyone come join the fun on King Leonardo's show
