[According to David Jenkins, a Harry Warren music expert and collector, a 1955 article he remembers reading stated that this composition was heard at the beginning of a 1955 episode of the show. So perhaps it was used on some unknown numbers of episodes of the series, perhaps even as a sub-theme.] Composers: music by Harry Warren (ASCAP) [pseudonym of Salvatore Anthony Guaragna], and lyrics by Harold Adamson (ASCAP) Orig.
