Per our pals Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs:
Come and listen to my story
'Bout a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer,
Barely kept his family fed.
And 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
Ol' Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there".
Said "California's the place you outta be".
So they loaded up the truck
And they moved to Beverly.
Hills that is, Swimming pools, movie stars.
Now at the end of each episode, we hear this over the closing credits:
Well now it's time to say
Goodby to Jed and all his kin,
They would like to thank
You folks for kindly droppin' in.
You're all invited back again to this locality
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality.
Hillbilly that is, sit a spell, take your shoes off.
Y'all come back now, y'hear?
For your reading pleasure on the Clampett family dynamic, via AI (not A1, Ms. McMahon):
The Clampett family's relationships on The Beverly Hillbillies are those of a tightly-knit, though sometimes eccentric, family. Jed Clampett is the patriarch, and his wife, Rose Ellen, has passed away by the time the show begins, but is referred to in an episode as "Rose Ellen". Their daughter, Elly May, is a strong and independent young woman. Jethro, their son, is a curious and sometimes mischievous boy. Granny, Jed's mother, adds a strong presence to the family, often providing wisdom and guidance. Pearl is Jed's sister. The relationships are those of a close-knit family navigating a new, unfamiliar environment as they adjust to their newfound wealth.
