The Dubbing Database

Here comes my Dick Bruna book is the theme song of Dick Bruna's Miffy storybook classics which plays at the beginning of every episode. An instrumental reprise is used for the credits as well, but only the intro version was dubbed. It was composed by Jaroslav Celba, with lyrics written by Gene Deitch.

An extended version was produced, which was titled I Love my Dick Bruna Book. This extended variant was only translated into Dutch.

The Dick Bruna's Miffy storybook classics intro appears to have been produced with the NTSC speed of this song in mind, as the animation syncs perfectly to the lyrics at this speed. Despite this, most dubs exclusively use the PAL pitch of the song instead, with the exception of the French and Russian dubs. The extended version also uses the PAL pitch of this song.

Here comes my Dick Bruna book
Sit with me and have a look
Pages full of 1, 2, 3
And all of it especially
Made for me
Made for me

I love my Dick Bruna book
Sit with me and have a look
Pages full of 1, 2, 3
And all of them especially
Made for me
Made for me

Every story tells me something wonderful
They're so colourful
I love them all

Lovely pictures and the words
I know how to read
And I want to read them all

There is Miffy, and her friends
Lots of fun, it never ends
Every story, want to see
And each of them especially
Made for me
Made for me

Poppy Pig, and Boris Bear, and Snuffy
The little tuffy
I love them all
And Miffy does so many things, and has so much fun
Even though she's very small

Dick Bruna books are also small
Just my size, I love them all
Pages full of 1, 2, 3
And all of them especially
Made for me
Made for me

Unusually, the Russian intro is edited differently from the other versions, with much of the animation being slowed down, and some other portions of the animation being cut entirely.
