Theme Song Lyrics
No matter where they go
They are known as the couple
They’re never seen alone
So they’re known as the couple
As I’ve indicated
They are never quite separated
They are peas in a pod
Don’t you think that it’s odd
Their habits I confess
None can guess with the couple
If one says no it’s yes
more or less with the couple
But they’re laugh provoking
Yet they really don’t know they’re joking
Don’t you find
When love is blind
It’s kind of odd
But they’re laugh provoking
Yet they really don’t know they’re joking
Don’t you find
When love is blind
It’s kind of odd
Don’t you think it’s odd
Don’t you think it’s odd
Don’t you think it’s odd
