    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.

about

This song was the B-Side to Ms. Lawrence's debut single, "And I'll Go" in 1969. The label artist is written as "Vikki Lawrence and Friend." Her co-singer is actually her then-husband, Bobby Russell, who also wrote and produced the humorous tune.

lyrics

Well, here we are together
For the first time, the moonlight, it was corny
And we're sitting here holding hands
As if it were some special ceremony
And of all the loves that ever lived
Tonight we feel that our love is the best
And the whole state of Alabama couldn't care less

Do you remember when Billy Joe MacGregor
Introduced us in that restaurant?
Now we both agree
That Billy Joe MacGregor might ought to run for president
Does he know that he played Cupid
And we're sitting here tonight in love like this?
And the whole state of Alabama doesn't know our love exists

Wake the town and tell the people
That tonight we found a love beyond compare
And it could have been the Alabama moon
Or simply something in the air
But we borrowed Alabama stars tonight
To make our love grow
And we thought our love was something
That the state of Alabama ought to know

And we thought our love was something
That the state of Alabama ought to know
And we thought our love was something
That the state of Alabama ought to know
