"Primrose Lane" is a song made famous by country music singer Jerry Wallace. Originally released in 1959, the song rose to number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was ranked #47 on Billboard magazine's Top Hot 100 songs of 1959.
In the song, the singer appears to be serenading his love as they walk down the road and claiming "life's a holiday" with her.

In 1971, "Primrose Lane" became the theme song of the ABC sitcom The Smith Family, sung by producer Don Fedderson's son, Mike Minor.
