    The Eddie Capra Mysteries is a 1978–1979 United States mystery television series starring Vincent Baggetta as a lawyer who investigates murders and has a knack for solving them. Original episodes aired from September 8, 1978, to January 12, 1979

    Taken from the episode, "Murder on the Flip Side":

    A young secretary hears a recording-company executive call for help from his office and finds him dead, having both suffered a gunshot wound and taken a drink from a glass of poisoned liquor. She becomes the main witness in the executive's murder, but then comes under suspicion herself when the owner of the record label is found stabbed to death in her bathtub. Eddie sets out to prove her innocence, and his investigation reveals that she could not have killed the record-label owner because that murder occurred while the police were interviewing her; he also discovers that the two murder victims were involved in a feud over a crooked record deal. Vicki Lawrence, Dick Haymes, Mel Carter, Joanna Miles, Andrew Robinson, and Rick Springfield guest-star.

lyrics

From somewhere outside,
I hear a street vendor cry "filet gumbo"
From my window I see him, going
Down the street and he don't know
That we fell right to sleep
In the damp tangled sheets so soon
After love in the hot afternoon.

Chorus:
Now this bourbon street lady
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
He was new to me, full of mystery
But now I know that he's just a guy,
And I'm just a girl in a room
Making love in the hot afternoon.

We met in the park this morning
And we sat, without talking
Then we came back here,
In the heat of the day, tired of walking
Where under his breath,
He hummed to himself a tune
About love in the hot afternoon

Repeat Chorus
