Anyone who saw the old "Andy Griffith Show" episode about Aunt Bee's pickles
will get a kick out of this:
Oh the County Fair's a big ole time
There's rides and food and fun
There's contests for the women folk
There's ribbons to be won
Well they got themselves in an awful fix
Just tryin' to be nice
Replaced a batch of her sour dills
And boy they paid the price
Please, please Aunt Bee
Don't make no pickles for me
I done ate 5 jars, can't take no more
Of them pickles, please Aunt Bee
Miss Clara's pride was awful deep
She tries so hard ya know
A scrapbook fulla blue ribbons
Eleven years in a row
Aunt Bee she can grow them cucumbers
I'd swear her thumb is green
But they swapped out her pickles for the storebought kind
Hers taste like kerosene
Please, please Aunt Bee
Don't make no pickles for me
I done ate 5 jars, can't take no more
Of them pickles, please Aunt Bee
Well she took a bite of those decoy dills
And decided then and there
It was high time she did it, she was gonna win
A blue ribbon at the fair
An awful mess, that's what they'd made
From this simple plan they'd hatched
So they ate all the pickles and they asked Aunt Bee
Could you make us another batch?
It all ended well, Bee's pickles didn't win
That ribbon gave Clara a dozen
All Andy and Barney and Opie could say is
I guess we gotta learn to love em!
Please, please Aunt Bee
Don't make no pickles for me
I done ate 5 jars, can't take no more
Of them pickles, please Aunt Bee
