Once Upon a Time – a Dorktales Theme Song

Dorktales Podcast: Theme Song Release!

Once Upon a Time

“It’s a beautiful day for a story, adventure and glory, new friends, and old ones too!” We’re very excited to bring you, dear listeners, our original theme song, performed by the Folktale Forest’s resident bird band, the Branch Sisters. The lyrics are a tribute to YOU, our dork squad, who join Jonathan and Mr. Redge each episode as they set sail on adventures through the imagination—taking you to a “brand, new world with twists and turns and lessons learned, and journeys most exhilarating.” Thank you for helping us bring joy, magic, and good stories into the world!

Theme Song Lyrics

It’s a beautiful day for a story
Adventure and glory 
New friends, and old ones too
It’s an excellent day
To get swept away 
In a tale, so let us regale you

In Once Upon a Time
Where anything is possible
We’ll let our geek flags fly
We’ll be unstoppable

So gather your squad
For all to see
It’s a brand new world that we’re creating
There are twists and turns and lessons learned
And journeys most exhilarating
Join Jonathan and Redge as they set sail
On the magical sea of a new Dorktale

(La di das)

In Once Upon a Time
Where anything is possible
We’ll let our geek flags fly
We’ll be unstoppable

So gather your squad
For all to see
It’s a universe that we’ve imagined
There’s twists and turns and lessons learned
This is where the unexpected happens
Join our humble hosts and hit the trails
Of the wonderful, wacky, wild world of Dorktales   

(La di das)
