Songwriter: Paul Henning Mark Knopfler Sting “Weird Al” Yankovic

Producer: Rick Derringer

[Intro]
Beverly hillbillies

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 1]
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 3]
Before you know it, all the kinfolk are-a-sayin'
Yeah, buddy, move away from there
That little Clampet got his own cement pond
That little Clampet, he's a millionaire

[Chorus 2]
Now, everyone said Californy
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]
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 hillbillies
Beverly Beverly Beverly hillbillies

“Weird Al” Yankovic

Alfred Matthew “Weird Al” Yankovic, born October 23, 1959, is widely praised as one of the greatest comedy musicians of all time. He’s best known for direct parodies that rewrite the lyrics of popular songs, but he has also written dozens of original songs.

A Lynwood, California native and graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (or better known as California Polytechnic State University), “Weird Al” released his eponymous debut album in 1983. Since then, Al has released 13 more studio albums, with the latest being Mandatory Fun.
