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, and various insects on a grassy field. The full credits are not usually seen on Cartoon Network airings, but appear on full online episodes and On Demand.
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 lyrics heard in the full online and "On Demand" versions abruptly end here. However, the full version of the Adventure Time version of this song appears on the main menu for both discs of the Adventure Time: The Complete First Season DVD box set, the Adventure Time: The Complete Third Season DVD box set, and the Jake vs. Me-Mow DVD. Its lyrics begin as above but continue as follows:
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. |
Lyrics (original version)
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 |
Instrumental
