The theme song alone sums up life for me. And I'm a D@mn Yankee! LOL!

"The Fishin' Hole"
By: "Everett Sloane, Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer"

Well, now, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole.
We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away.

What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin' stones,
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin' in the shade.

Whether it's hot,
whether it's cool,
oh what a spot,
for whistlin' like a fool.

What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by The Fishin' Hole.
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.

We'll have no need to call the roll when we get to The Fishin' Hole.
There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.

If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in dewy grass,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.

Hangin' around,
takin' our ease,
watchin' that hound,
a-scratchin' at his fleas.

Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole.
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.

Amen! (I added that, LOL!) Andy couldn't have been a Marxist. This day, as described above, seems like Heaven to me!

And FWIW, I'm naming my next mutt "Trey."

The theme is another reason to buy this new DVD because in the "public domain" releases, most had a bastardized version of the song so as to avoid paying royalties. Yuck!
