I am currently working at typing up all of the Fraggle Rock songs. Actually, I am copying the lyrics from http://www.punchandjewelry.com/legacy/html/lyrics_ind.htm. This site is called Chris's Fraggle Rock Page, and the site's last update was on November 27, 1997. This site has all of the episodes in the order that they were shown (not in the order that they are in on DVD) and the lyrics for almost all of the songs. The songs that do not have their lyrics transcribed are...
1) Face Facts: Pack Snacks: Make Tracks
2) Scare Them Boo!
3) Very Scary (If This Doesn't Getcha)
4) What If A Friend
5) Follow You
6) (I Will) Follow Me
7) Yes Sir, No Sir
8) I'm Not Scared of Anything At All
9) River Roll On
10) Fraggle Rock Theme Reprise
Right now, I have typed up (copied actually) the songs in the first five episodes as well as the Fraggle Rock Theme Opening. I am going back through the songs and adding who sings, where the song takes place, and what happens during the song. I would really appreciate some help transcribing mainly the Fraggle Rock Theme Reprise, but also, any help with the others is appreciated as well! I am grouping the songs by what episode they appear in, so when I completely finish with an episode I will post it here (This also goes for the Fraggle Rock Theme Reprise). The Fraggle Rock Theme Opening lyrics are below.
(As the song starts, there are no lyrics at the beginning, the camera zooms in through a window in Doc’s workshop. Doc is at his work bench twisting something, and Sprocket, who adjusts the position of his head as the camera moves in, is in his bed. The camera continues to move to the viewer’s right, and lowers toward the ground, where a Fraggle Hole comes into view. Moments after the camera moves through the opening of the Fraggle Hole, Gobo appears. The camera follows Gobo as he runs down a tunnel, and comes into view of the opening to The Great Hall. When Gobo enters The Great Hall, he slows down and turns around to face the camera for the first time. Just behind him, going from the viewer’s left to right, are Mokey, Red, Wembley, and Boober. Behind them are a group of other Fraggles, who are bobbing and swaying to the music, and Doozers standing on one of their constructions. Moments later they all start to sing.)
Fraggles and Doozers: Dance your cares away,
Worries for another day.
Let the music play, (At the end of this line, the current camera view folds inward. The new camera view is one of a group of Fraggles who are standing behind a wall to the back left of the Fraggle 5. These Fraggles sing the next line.)
Fraggles: Down at Fraggle Rock. (The current camera view once again folds inward at the end of this line. The new view is of the Doozers and their Doozer construction that was directly behind the Fraggle 5. The Doozers start to sing the next two lines.)
Doozers: Work your cares away,
Dancing’s for another day, (At the end of this line, the Doozers stop singing and start to work on the Doozer tower they are standing on. Then, the Fraggle 5 pop up behind the Doozer tower and start to sing.)
Fraggle 5: Let the Fraggles play, (The Fraggle 5 introduce themselves in the next line one by one, starting from the viewer’s left, and going to the viewer’s right.)
We’re Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober, Red! (The camera view abruptly changes views to a new view of The Great Hall. This view includes a view of the Fraggle Pond. A corner of the Fraggle Pond can by seen on the viewer’s right side to the left of an upright purple Fraggle. The Fraggle Pond becomes more visible as the camera follows Gobo.)
Nameless Fraggle: “Whoopee!” (This Fraggle then jumps into the Fraggle Pond.)
Gobo: “Now me!” (As Gobo starts to turn to the viewer’s right, out of The Great Hall, and down another tunnel, more of the Fraggle Pond becomes visible. This view is aided by the ripples from the splash from the Fraggle the jumped into the Fraggle Pond. As Gobo is running, the camera briefly changes to a full-on front view of Gobo, and then switches to a back to a back view as Gobo arrives at the green plant-ringed entrance hole to the Gorg’s garden. The view abruptly switches to a view of the outside of Fraggle Rock, as seen from the Gorg’s garden, where Junior Gorg sees Gobo as he raises his head out to locate the Gorgs.)
Junior Gorg: “Ooh, a Fraggle!” (As Junior Gorg leans toward the Fraggle hole with his right arm outstretched and hand open. Gobo ducks back into the hole into Fraggle Rock to evade Junior as the Gorg’s entire right arm goes into the hole after Gobo. All through the shot, we see Pa Gorg, Junior’s father, standing by the Gorg’s well, pumping water into a bucket whose rope handle is over the water spout. The well is near to the exterior of Fraggle Rock that is seen by the Gorgs from their garden. As Junior reaches into the hole that Gobo ducked back into with his right arm, the shot abruptly changes. The new shot shows Junior’s arm and hand grabbing Gobo.)
Gobo Fraggle : “Oooohhhh!” (Gobo says this as he is drawn out of Fraggle Rock by Junior and into the daylight in the Gorg’s Garden.)
Junior Gorg : “He, he. Hey look Ma! I caught a Fraggle!” (Junior shoves his right hand that is holding Gobo into his mother’s, Ma Gorg’s, face. Ma hates the Fraggles and regards them as little pests that need to be exterminated, so her reaction to Junior’s action is an obvious one.)
Ma Gorg: “Aaahhh!” (When Ma screams, Junior tosses Gobo over his right shoulder. Gobo hits the surrounding stone wall and then slips into the well. If you try to visualize the stone wall and the water pump, Gobo hits just slightly behind and to the right of the water pump. Pa, Junior, and Ma turn and watch Gobo as he falls into the well.)
Gobo Fraggle: “Whoa…whoopee!” (Gobo exclaims “Whoa…” as he hits the surrounding stone wall, and then “...whoopee!” as he slips into the well, and down into the Fraggle Pond below. The camera view abruptly changes to a view of the Fraggle Pond as Gobo finishes up his line. Once in the Fraggle Pond he joins the other Fraggles in singing the next verse.)
Dance your cares away,
Worries for another day.
Let the music play, (At the very, very end of the previous line beginning of this line, Wembley runs off screen. As the next line starts Wembley shouts “Yahoo!” as he jumps into the Fraggle Pond to join Gobo.)
Down at Fraggle Rock.
Gobo, Wembley, Mokey, and Red Fraggle: Down at Fraggle Rock. (The camera view abruptly changes to a close up of Gobo and Wembley, who are still in the Fraggle Pond, as well as Mokey and Red, who are standing in front of the Fraggle Pond and lean into the camera’s view as they speak. They say this line and then give one sharp nod after they finish. The camera view abruptly changes to a view of Boober.)
Boober Fraggle: Down at Fraggle Rock. (Boober says this in a sad tone as he leans on a rock in front of him. With his elbows on the rock in front of him, his arms together, and hands under his chin After he says this line he sighs and sags down into his hands.)

Fraggle Rock Theme (Opening)
