10/14 Don't hear the words very often.
14/14. My parents had the vinyl record of the songs from the show. I remember them playing it and I loved that song. I still do. And I now have that same record from 60 years ago and would never part with it.
11/14 - figuring out the rhymes helped for some
9/14
11/11 I guessed on some of them. No way I knew them all.
since they rhymed w/something in the other part of the line, it seemed easier. I think I still had 2 wrong.
12/14.

11 of 14. Didn't know the song had words to it. I usually do very well on the show quizzes.
Lots of series had unknown lyrics, Bewitched, Star Trek (awful lyrics composed by Gene Roddenberry reportedly so he could share the credit with Alexander Courage and receive royalties). The Odd Couple also had horrible lyrics apparently written for the 1968 movie (the song Is featured on the movie soundtrack) but thankfully not used in the movie or series. Of course the M*A*S*H lyrics can be heard in that movie.
