Excellent rendition. RIP to the Maestro.

Here are the lyrics: http://www.cfhf.net/lyrics/odd.htm

The theme was originally written for the movie adaptation of Neil Simon's play starring Walter Mathau and Jack Lemon. The lyrics were not used in the movie either - go figure!



LYRICS NEVER AIRED

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.

Voice-over used on the show:

"On November thirteenth Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife. Deep down he knew she was right. But he also knew that someday he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. Sometime earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?"
