The group that sings/plays the theme song is conducted by Don Nicholl and Joe Raposo.
There are four versions of the theme song: one that appeared only in the pilot, one that was used 1971-1973, one that was used 1973-1975, and another that was used 1975-1977. Here are the lyrics for the versions.
Pilot version:
We're gonna turn it on
We're gonna bring you the power
We're gonna light up the dark of night like the brightest day in a brand new way
We're gonna turn it on
We're gonna bring you the power
We're gonna show you the truest words that you ever heard anybody say
We're gonna open the book
And read every word we can see
We're gonna get us the power to learn about anything
And the power's gonna set us free
We're gonna turn it on
We're gonna turn on the power
It's coming down the lines, strong as it can be
