The ending theme is the ending song for The Amazing World of Gumball. In the US, it is usually only audible on demand, Hulu, or HBO MAX, otherwise the credits play on the bottom-left corner at the end of each episode. In more recent airings, the full credits are played unobstructed. In the UK, the credits are never played on TV or (more recently) on demand.
Usage
Outside of its usage in the end credits, the song plays in the following episodes:
- "The Car": A slowed down version plays when Gumball and Darwin clean up Mr. Robinson's floor.
- "The Fan": Sarah can be heard singing the song at the end of the episode, thus breaking the fourth wall.
- "The Law": Larry's ice-cream trucks play a music box variant of the theme.
- "The Procrastinators": A creepy music box version plays when the Clown delivers a telegram.
- "The Disaster": The Wattersons sing "It's A Lovely Morning" to the tune of the theme. The theme also plays in the Void as the credits scroll.
- "The Rerun": Similar usage as above.
- "The Rival": Variant plays on the title card.
- "The Shippening": Plays when Sarah finds the notebook.
- "The Understanding": Principal Brown plays the song before his PA announcements.
- "The Inquisition": A slowed version plays on the title card. Additionally, a looped and reverbed version plays after Tina Rex smashes Rob into the ground.
Trivia

- "The DVD is currently the only episode not to utilize the ending theme, as it is replaced by Darwin singing the theme song from Alligators on a Train.

- In seasons 1 through 3, the cast listing shows "Mom" and "Dad" instead of "Nicole" and "Richard," respectively. James Lamont joked that Gumball was responsible for the end credits. Starting in season 4, the cast listing replaces "Mom" and "Dad" with "Nicole" and "Richard."
- In the Canadian end credits, it is spelled "Mum" instead of "Mom."
