[Intro: Granny,

Jed

,

"Weird Al" Yankovic

]

Dad-blamed Beverly Hills

There ain't a possum shank to be bought around here at any price

What good is having 68 million dollars, I ask you!

Well, this morning it's good for getting a lot of papers signed for Mr. Drysdale

(

Beverly

)

You were doing that when I left here two hours ago

Beverly hillbillies

[Verse 1: "Weird Al" Yankovic]

Huh

Now lookie here people, listen to my story

A little story 'bout a man named Jed

You know something? That poor mountaineer

They say he barely kept his family fed

Now let me tell you, one day he was shootin'

Old Jed was shootin' at some food

When all of a sudden, right up from the ground there

Well, there came a bubblin' crude

[Chorus: "Weird Al" Yankovic]

Oil, that is, well, maybe you call it

Black gold or Texas tea

He gonna move next to Mr. Drysdale

And be a Beverly Hillbilly

[Verse 2: "Weird Al" Yankovic]

Before you know it, all the kinfolk are a-sayin'

Yeah, buddy, move away from there

That little Clampett got his own cement pond

That little Clampett, he's a millionaire[Chorus: "Weird Al" Yankovic]

Now, everyone said Californ-ee

Is the place that you oughta be

We got to load up this here truck now

We got to move to Beverly

Hills, that is

[Outro: "Weird Al" Yankovic]

Swimming pools

Move-a-move-a-movie stars

Huh

Look at that, look at that

Beverly, Beverly, Beverly, hillbillies

(Y'all come back now, y'hear?)

Beverly, Beverly, Beverly, hillbillies

Beverly, Beverly, Beverly, hill—
