Theme Song
While the weekly show began with an instrumental theme song by the team of Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen, the closing credits during the first eight shows of the inaugural season played the song with lyrics sung by The Modernaires:
- Who's the gal that's everybody's pal, it's Hazel
- She's the one to make the sun begin to glow
- The mailman, the grocer, and even schoolkids know
- It's worth their while to stop and watch that smile
- When Hazel, that Hazel
- When Hazel, that Hazel
- When Hazel says hello
There were different arrangements of the theme song as the series progressed, including a later version by Howard Greenfield and Helen Miller.

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or song:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to or No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth or We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didnt have.”
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“In almost all climes the tortoise and the frog are among the precursors and heralds of this season, and birds fly with song and glancing plumage, and plants spring and bloom, and winds blow, to correct this slight oscillation of the poles and preserve the equilibrium of nature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
