<p>Faster than lightning!
No one you see
is smarter than he!</p>
<p>People let me tell you 'bout my best friend,
He’s a warm hearted person who’ll love me till the end.
People let me tell you bout my best friend,
He’s a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy.</p>
<p>We got a right to pick a little fight
Bonanza!
If anyone fights anyone of us
He’s gotta fight with me!</p>
<p>We’re not a one to saddle up and run,
Bonanza!
Anyone of us who starts a little fuss
knows he can count on me!</p>
<p>(Sorry. Had to get them out of my head!)</p>
<p>omg owlice, you brought back memories of my “flipper” doll. A pink striped stuffed animal if you can imagine it :)</p>
<p>Well, since I just admitted to my age on another thread, here are the ones that stick in my head:</p>
<p>A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse, of course,
That is, of course, unless the horse
Is the famous Mr. Ed.</p>
<p>Also…</p>
<p>Come and listen to my story ‘bout a man named Jed,
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.
And then one day, when he was shootin’ at some food,
Up through the ground came some bubbling crude.
Oil, that is. Black gold, Texas T.</p>
<p>Owlice, it’s extraordinary that you remember the words to the Bonanza song. I was under the impression that it was sung only once, in the pilot, and that an instrumental version was used in all other episodes.</p>
<p>My brother had a Flipper costume for Halloween one year. The mask was a side view of Flipper’s head, so it had some odd eyehole placement. I still tease him about it. Thanks for the memory!</p>
<p>owlice, I’m afraid you’ve awakened a lot of sleeping monsters.</p>
<p>Here’s the story
of a lovely lady
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold
like their mother,
the youngest one in curls. . . .</p>
<p>Some years back, I worked in a school where the principal was not well liked. She told the music teacher early on that his contract would not be renewed and that she would not give him a reference. The end year concert, which featured a song by each class (K-8, private) and then a finale sung by the entire school, had this song as the finale:</p>
<p>The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day for a three-hour tour.
A three-hour tour…</p>
<p>The music teacher slipped out during the finale.</p>
<p>Head 'em up, move 'em out. Rawhide!</p>
<p>Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day
and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?</p>
<p>Well it’s you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it.
Love is all around, no need to waste it.
You can have the town, why don’t you take it.
You’re gonna make it after all.</p>
<p>Harriet, you’ve just referenced one of my alltime favorite shows–and did you know that you can watch old episodes on hulu dot com? I watched one recently and was blown away–again. Enjoy!</p>
<p>owlice, you’ve unleashed a monster.</p>
<p>Flintstones. Meet the Flintstones.
They’re the modern stone age family.
From the town of Bedrock,
They’re a page right out of history.</p>
<p>Let’s ride with the family down the street.
Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.</p>
<p>When you’re with the Flintstones
you’ll have a yabba dabba doo time.
A dabba doo time.
You’ll have a gay old time. </p>

<p>I’m Popeye the Sailor Man,
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man.
I’m strong to the finich
Cause I eats me spinach.
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man.</p>
<p>I’m one tough Gazookus
Which hates all Palookas
Wot ain’t on the up and square.
I biffs 'em and buffs 'em
And always out roughs 'em
But none of 'em gets nowhere.</p>
<p>If anyone dares to risk my “Fisk”,
It’s “Boff” an’ it’s “Wham” un’erstan’?
So keep “Good Be-hav-or”
That’s your one life saver
With Popeye the Sailor Man.</p>
<p>I’m Popeye the Sailor Man,
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man.
I’m strong to the finich
Cause I eats me spinach.
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man.</p>
<p>It’s Howdy Doody time! It’s Howdy Doody time!</p>

<p>Someday, maybe Fred will win the fight
And that cat will stay out for the night!</p>
<p>(H often sings this to our cats, menacingly.)</p>
<p>MountainNCMan, I did know, and I do. It’s great, isn’t it?</p>
<p>…no matter what, at half the price, a gorilla like Magilla is mighty nice. Magilla, Magilla Gorilla for sale! </p>
<p>How much is that Gorilla in the window?</p>
<p>They’re creepy and they’re kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They’re all together ooky,
The Addams Family.</p>
<p>Their house is a museum.
When people come to see 'em
They really are a screa-um.
The Addams Family. </p>
<p>Neat. Sweet! Petite. . . .</p>
<p>(Speak French to me, Gomez.)</p>
<p>sorry, since it is now running through my head, I have to add my favorite part:</p>
<p>'Don’t try to understand 'em, just rope 'em, throw, and brand ‘em.’</p>
<p>And my favorite, if you can whistle- the Theme from the Andy Griffith show.</p>
<p>Jeez, how old are you (we) guys???</p>
<p>Come ride the little train that is rolling down the tracks to the junction.
(Petticoat Junction)
Forget about your cares, it is time to relax at the junction.
(Petticoat Junction) </p>
<p>Lotsa curves, you bet. Even more when you get
To the junction, Petticoat Junction. </p>
<p>There’s a little hotel called the Shady Rest at the junction.
(Petticoat Junction)
It is run by Kate, come and be her guest at the junction.
(Petticaor Junction)
And that’s Uncle Joe, he’s a movin’ kind of slow at the junction,
Petticoat Junction.</p>
<p>I’m 45. ;-)</p>
<p>Geen Acres is the place to be
Farmin’ is the life for me
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhatten, just give me that coutryside</p>
<p>New York is where I’d rather stay
I get allergic smelling hay
I just adore a penthouse view
Dah-ling, I love you but give me Park Avenue</p>
<p>…the chores
…the stores
…fresh air
…Times Square</p>
<p>You are my wife
Good-bye city life
Green Acres, we are here</p>
