Freedom calls and Pippi runs
The girl who never heard she couldn't do something
Watch out world 'cause here she comes
And she's bound to teach you more than one thing

Pippi Longstocking is coming into your town
The one no one can keep down, no no no no
The one who's fun to be around, woaaahhh woah.

Pippi Longstocking is coming into your world
A freckle-faced redhaired girl, you oughta know
She'll throw your life into a whirl.

She dreams dreams like me and you
And yes it seems she always makes her dreams come true

She loves trees and roaring seas
And the mountains please her more than toys do.

She'll throw your life into a whirl.

The one who's fun to be around
Pippi Longstocking is coming into your world...

"...is coming into your world" only because it was the part that always got stuck in my head back when this show was incessantly advertised. Curiously, though, I never saw the show itself (though I quite like the original novel).

Watched the 60s stuff endless amount of times and never knew this movie existed until this thread. Looks weird!

I also rejected the theme song rendition directly above my post. This is the one I know:

Never heard the OP version. I know the Dutch version & some issue about the lyrics that was in the news a few years ago, which I just looked up: so it is a translation of the German version, which rewrote the original Swedish song linked to upthread. This version changed the lyrics to new lyrics that the Astrid Lindgren heirs did not approve of, so after some juridical hassle they ruled in 2021 that the German and Dutch versions had to be changed for any subsequent airings.

Original contested lyrics:
'3 maal 3 is 6
Wiedewiede - wie wil van mij leren?
4 min 5 is 2
Diedeldiedel - doe eens met me mee

Hai, Pippi Langkous
Todderie-todderei-todde-hopsasa
Hai, Pippi Langkous
Die doet haar eigen zin'

Roughly translates as:
'3 times 3 is 6
Whodeewhodee who wants to learn from me?
4 minus 5 is 2
Dodeedodee do it along with me

Hi, Pippi Longstocking
Todderie-todderei-todde-hopsasa
Hi, Pippi Longstocking
She goes her own way'

These lyrics were changed to 'Here comes Pippi Longstocking, because that is my name' and 'Here comes mister Nilsson, because that is his name'.

The controversy!!!

The latter ones seem closer to the Swedish original, so would assume they'd be the standard.

Never heard that song before, but it is definitely a banger.

Certainly better than what I was expecting to find in this thread:

Like cryptosicko, only know one line of this song because of the ad. My childhood brain filled in the gaps with another song:

Pippi Longstocking coming into your world
Keep it down now
Voices carry
