All you ever wanted to know about 'Welcome Back, Kotter"

---

"Welcome back, Your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome back, To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well, the names have all changed since you hung around, But those dreams have remained and they've turned around.

Who'dve thought they'd lead ya? (Who'dve thought they'd lead ya?) Back here where we need ya? (Back here where we need ya?)

Yeah, we tease him a lot, Cuz we've got him on the spot. Welcome back.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

* Additional lines in the song during the closing credits:

Welcome back. We always could spot a friend. Welcome back. And I smile when I think how you must've been."
