INTRO LYRICS

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 ole 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!


ENDING LYRICS

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
Hillbilly that is. Set a spell. Take your shoes off. Y’all come back now,


The Beverly Hillbillies


Bet you were not expecting those lyrics?

Granny in Red? shudders. Of course Jed did go on to be an investigator as I recall.

Remember this?

On the subject of old TV lyrics, can you identify this snippet?

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder
Fighting all who rob and plunder


or maybe this

If you find yourself in danger,
if you're threatened by a stranger,
if it looks like you will take a licking -
There is one thing you should learn -
there is one place you can turn

Any clue?

There's no need to fear
Underdog is here.

You got the first one. I'll be impressed if you get the other one.
