Theme songs

Opening

The Little Prince, from outer space, can catch a shooting star and sail away.

Perhaps one day, he'll come your way.

Closing

He comes from somewhere, a world way out there.

And he hasn't been back since.

He finds friendly faces, such strange places,

And that's the tale of the Little Prince.
