Can you fill in the missing lyrics to The Beverly Hillbillies theme song?
Words, that is…lines…text…libretto.
A good TV theme song needs to succinctly set up the premise of the show and be catchy enough to stick in viewers’ heads long after the end credits. One theme song that gives an entire pilot episode’s worth of plot in one song, all while set to a rousing bluegrass banjo, is the tune for The Beverly Hillbillies.
The song about a man named Jed who strikes oil while out hunting is a Sixties classic. But how well do you remember all the lines, from the beginning and end credits, in this hillbilly ditty? Try to fill in the missing lyrics in this quiz!

Alsome !
The Beverly hillbillies & Green acres are the best. They never fail to make me laugh! 🤣 The TV shows that are on now are complete crap. Way too much taking the Lords name in vain and too much cursing in general. Very unnecessary.
Literally laugh out loud at this show. Love it. So funny, good values.
16/16 ciome back.
I got 14 out of 16
16/16. I should celebrate with a Jethro-sized bowl of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. (No possum for me, thanks.)
The Beverly Hillbillies was my favorite TV comedy when I was a child. I still laugh a lot whenever I watch it. Great clean humor...
EASY ! 16/16
16 out of 16, and I can play it on the banjo too!
Perfect. That's sad
14/16. I know "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" like the back of my hand. I screwed up on the end theme.
''You got 15 out of 16'' -----------You struck gold! Great job! I got #12 wrong. I thought it was all, when it was really folks.
12/12 Too easy.
12/12? When there were 16 questions? I got 15/16 myself.
I missed #12 I said all instead of folks, knew I was wrong as I was clicking on it, but I could stop myself.
I did the same thing.
Almost missed #11
16 out of 16 🙌🏾 . And after " y'all come back now y'here" Eli Mae says: This has been a Filmsway presentation. 🤣
That's "Yer'All" and I'm going to use that pronunciation to snark at the next person that uses "Y'all" within the confines of the metropolis.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Really !!!
I messed it up...
I meant "Within the ENVIRONS of the metropolis"
I borrowed it from the "Jeeves" character in the Jeeves & Wooster series, regarding a gentleman and where he shouldn't wear a hat made of straw.

Never was a fan of the show but I had heard the song enough.
