Wunda Wunda

"Wunda Wunda" is the name of an early children's television series that aired in Seattle, Washington between 1953 and 1972. It starred Ruth Prins as Wunda Wunda, who read stories and sang songs with other characters on the show. She wore a princess hat and clown-like make-up, sitting on a magical rug to do most of her show. She had a magic window she used to help tell her stories, which was basically a pane of glass she marked with a felt pen. Wunda Wunda's regular guests included "Clancy the Clock" (an animated alarm clock) and a puppet drum with a face who indicated the beginning of music time. Wunda Wunda's opening theme song went:

"Wunda Wunda is my name.oh boys and girls, I'm glad you came.We'll have fun and we'll play games.Won't you play with me?"

At the closing of each show, the last line of her theme song would change to:

"Won't you come again?"
