Beverly Hillbillies Theme Song
Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was shootin at some food
And up through the ground came a bubblin’ crude.
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.
Well the first thing you know ol’ Jed’s a millionaire,
Kinfolk said Jed move away from there.
Said Californy is the place you ought to be;
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.
Hills, that is Swimmin pools, movie stars.
The Beverly Hillbillies!
Well now its time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You’re all invited back again to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality
Of course, they have proven credibility...
