The "Adventure Time Ending Theme" is a portion of the song "Christmas Island" or "Island Song" by Ashley Eriksson with slightly altered lyrics. A version of the song also appears on the LP Let's Build A Roof by LAKE, a WA-based band, of which Eriksson is a member. The end credits sequence does not include the main characters, but instead shows a bee, a Worm, a ladybug, and two butterflies on a grassy field. The full credits are not usually seen on Cartoon Network airings, but appear on full online episodes and On Demand.
The song is confirmed in the series finale, "Come Along With Me", to be sung by the Music Hole.
Lyrics
| Come along with me And the butterflies and bees We can wander through the forest And do so as we please. |
| Come along with me To a cliff under a tree |
The TRUE Adventure Time Island Song w "and the butterflies and bees"
| Where we can gaze upon the water As an everlasting dream. |
| All of my collections I'll share them all with you Maybe by next summer We won't have changed our tune. |
| We'll still want to be With the butterflies and bees Making up new numbers And living so merrily. |
| All of my collections I'll share them all with you I'll be here for you always And always be with you. |
| Come along with me And the butterflies and bees We can wander through the forest And do so as we please. |
| Living so merrily. |

Lyric Video of Adventure Time
| Come along with me To a town beside the sea We can wander through the forest And do so as we please. |
| Come along with me To a cliff under a tree. Where we'll gaze upon the water As an everlasting dream |
| All of my affections I'll give them all to you Maybe by next summer We won't have changed our tune |
| 'Cause we'll want to be In this town beside the sea Making up new numbers And living so merrily |
| All of my affections Give them all to you I'll be here for you always And always be for you |
| Come along with me To a town beside the sea We can wander through the forest And do so as we please |
| Living so merrily |

Trivia
- The song is featured in the promos for Season 4.
- In Russia, this song was left undubbed in seasons 1, 2 & 3, 5 & onwards, but in Season 4, the song is dubbed.
- The locations mentioned in the song are visited in "Breezy."
- In the episodes "Shh!" and "The Suitor," the song "Braco Don't Go" is heard instead of the regular song.
- In the episodes "Jermaine" and "Chips and Ice Cream," the song "Booboo Sousa" which played in the former was heard instead of the regular song.
- The series finale is named after the first lyrics of this song.
- Huntress Wizard's House, and the character herself, may to some extent be a reference to this song; Huntress Wizard is a character whose typical behavior involves her wandering through the woods, doing as she pleases. Moreover, the location of her house is literally a cliff under a tree, with a river flowing through which becomes a waterfall; i.e. a cliff under a tree where one can gaze upon the water, as in the song lyrics. This may all simply be a coincidence, however.
