The Beverly Hillbillies

[Music]

morning Jazz where's ready what you

doing well I'm mixing up a batch of

mortar I'm finally going to patch that

hole in the foundation oh good that'll

stop them Critters from getting under

the house yeah I think

many ain't you never going to take off

that Davy Crockett cap not until the

wedding day who's Wendy

you stay when Ellie May Clampett becomes

Mrs Robert a Crockett

granny we just met the boy yesterday

ain't you kind of counting your chickens

for these hats ain't nothing chicken

about this boy Jed he's a direct

descendant of the greatest hero that

Tennessee ever produced The One and Only

Davey Crockett himself

granny I ain't knocking a boy I just

don't think you ought to be making

wedding plans I ain't I ain't do nothing

it's

remember the Saiyan marriages is made in

Tennessee that's heaven

you've been there have you

really you are something else

come on let's go have breakfast

well I reckon this mortar won't set up

on me in the time it takes to eat of

course it won't

I'm fixing something fast this morning

what is it jackrabbit

something fast

Jackrabbit did you catch that Jim I

caught it and I dropped it granny you

sure are feeling your oats today well

weddings make me happy

I gotta feel there's gonna be a long day

speaking of breakfast I didn't see no

bucket of riddles outside for Jethro I

didn't leave none this morning Jethro

will be home today he's coming out of

hiding oh you told him that that girl he

thought was trying to trap was gone huh

not exactly no well anyway uh you got a

word to everyone safe to come home huh I

figured the best way was not to leave

any vittles when Jethro gets hungry

enough he'll be home

that's right take quite a spell to get a

message to his brain but reaching the

stomach is a quick trip

[Music]

that's right he's

he's in time for Ellie's wedding let's

go ahead and make him feel welcome

there he goes look at he split

Chad look

my bucket of mortar it's gone

Jethro must have thought it was grit he

leave it I'm afraid he will what do we

do

well but all we can do is hope it don't

sit up too quick after he swallows it

what if it does

well then uh let's hope that he's hiding

near a school

because he's going to be spitting a lot

of Choke

come on Ellie we'll have a showdown with

Mr Drysdale Here and Now

well Chief you have finally sunk to a

new low

not what have I done it was bad enough

when you made Ellie's chimp wash windows

and shine shoes but to our latest

exploitation of that helpless little

animal is simply outrageous oh God calm

down we found him 14 blocks from this

Bank well

[Music]

aren't you ashamed of yourself who has

to be ashamed of I put him in charge of

advertising with this bank that's an

honor really well you name me one other

monkey that's in the advertising

business well never mind never mind I

just thought of a few myself

poor little critter feet so sore from

all that walking and carrying that heavy

sign you are very lucky that we got

there before the SPCA what's that the

society for the prevention of cruelty to

animals how do you like that everybody's

protected but Bank presidents we're the

downtrodden minority anybody can pick on

us

now don't you worry I'm gonna tell Paul

I mean Mr drysdale's been to you wait a

minute honey dear

I thought the exercise would do him good

I didn't know it was good hurt his cute

little feet this didn't be Winter Market

this little bitty stayed home this

little piggy had roast beef this little

piggy had done and this little piggy

went way way

all the way home and that's where I'm

gonna take this poor little critter

your father anything bad about a nice

Bank president well I think I'm going to

tell him what you've done what did I do
