Theme Song
The title music was written as an instrumental. Lyrics were written by Harold Adamson, who was nominated five times for an Oscar. The lyrics to 'I Love Lucy' were sung by Desi Arnaz in the episode "Lucy's Last Birthday":
I love Lucy and she loves me.
We're as happy as two can be.
Sometimes we quarrel but then
How we love making up again.
Lucy kisses like no one can.
She's my missus and I'm her man,
And life is heaven you see,
'Cause I love Lucy, Yes I love Lucy, and Lucy loves me!
The song was covered by Michael Franks on the 1993 album Dragonfly Summer. In the 1970s, the Wilton Place Street Band had a top-40 hit with a disco version of the theme, "Disco Lucy".

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or song:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“I made my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
