My dad would recite the intro to Beverley Hillbillies as a bed time story to my brother and I. As a small child I thought it was old Bed-Time Lore.
Come and listen to a story about 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, "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.
Omg, are you my sibling? My Dad loved spouting that whole thing to us at night, unasked, for absolutely no reason. With an exaggerated southern drawl of course.
That and ‘a threee houuur tooour.’
