Clavin Christmas in Petticoat Junction

Miss Jane very well granny I think you

better check the pantry first sir

remember Jethro has been home and

besides I better hurry next door and

check in with the chief oh Mr Drysdale

staying here taking care of my bear

really well Fairchild just loves Mr

Drysdale bet you they've been having a

lot of fun together

I wonder who's been doing the cooking

likely Mr Drysdale well if Mr drazel has

been doing the cooking for Jethro and

Ellie's bear he ain't had much time for

banking am I glad he's all back

especially you Grady I love you can I

carry into the house oh If It Makes You

Happy Jethro oh it does

I want to get you to the stove as quick

as it can

you put me down

you're all hard boy he's all stomach

the cheese cooking Mr Drysdale

he had been here since Christmas

but he took the truck and Ellie's bear

and drove to Hooterville to join you you

never got there wait a minute Jed when

we was on that train Christmas nights

singing carols I recollect Sam rocker

looking out the window and saying he

seen a bear Drive in the truck yeah and

we just thought he'd had too much eggnog

no that was Fairchild I learned him how

to drive so he could spell Mr Drysdale

at the wheel oh there hey bad granny he

Hogs the road a lot but the other

drivers never complained I wonder why I

didn't stop in Hooterville that town is

easy to miss in the daytime but at night

with no lights to speak of on that truck

he'll break to speak of them either but

she runs good I fill the gas tank with

granny's White Lightning why and I gave

him plenty of extra jokes for the trip

back that stuff is liquid Dynamite I'll

say this hey maybe he overshot

Hooterville

I certainly hope we hear from him if he

runs into something the whole

Countryside will hear from him or Mr

drysdale's driving across country in

that old truck with a 400 pound bear oh

he don't look like a bear granny he

looks like a 400 pound hippie hippie oh
