he would say "whee doggie"
on my favorite show
i don't mean jim varney
ebsen's all i know
with his act, so corny
whiskered dude had, with words, a way
and i still remember
things that jed would say

father of a fine girl
wished that she were mine
to beasts, was a kind girl
homes there, they would find
hokey jokes were teeming
from podunk, in their truck, they strayed
and i still remember
things that jed would say

he was such a country guy
loved to hear him say that country stuff
i'd nearly lose my mind
cause the words he'd say...

were fun enough to make my mind purr
humorous, by gum
laughing all the time...pure..
yokum, so home-spun

always left me beaming
cause his jests made me laugh away
and i still remember
things that jed would say
