BR5-49 - Me and Opie Down By The Duck Pond
Lyrics

Don't tell Andy, don't tell Aunt Bee 
They'll come lookin' for Opie and me
Tell 'em we're dead or tell 'em we're gone
Me and Opie down by the duck pond 

Well, Goober brought down some homegrown 'hay' 
It whomped me upside the head, I never felt that way 
Aunt Bee said we'd be in dutch 
If the sherrif ever caught us smokin' that stuff 

Don't tell Andy, don't tell Aunt Bee 
They'll come lookin' for Opie and me 
Tell 'em we're dead or tell 'em we're gone 
Me and Opie down by the duck pond 

I heard a little holler down in the woods 
Sounded like a soul sayin', "Mmm mmm good!" 
Moved a little closer, sneakin' like a squirrel 
Otis was slurpin' up his favorite girrrrrl 

Now Otis said, "Boys come sit by the still 
I'll pour you up a jar of that famous swill 
If you can't walk don't worry no way 
Now LIGHT THAT PIPE and pass it my way!" 

Don't tell Andy, don't tell Aunt Bee 
They'll come lookin' for Opie and me 
Tell 'em we're dead or tell 'em we're gone 
Me and Opie down by the duck pond 

I had to dodge a rock that was hittin' the tree 
Out of the swamp came Ernest T. 
Gold tooth flashin' as he hit that pipe 
Out of the blue came Barney Fiiiiife! 

Well now Barney come down to nip that still 
Wavin' an axe, a lawman's thrill 
Opie, don't smoke, you'll turn yourself green 
Give me up a puff and I'll show you what I mean 

Don't tell Andy, don't tell Aunt Bee 
They'll come lookin' for Opie and me 
Tell 'em we're dead or tell 'em we're gone 
Me and Opie down by the duck pond 

We all sat there for most of the night 
Trying to figure out our left from our right 
Here comes Andy and old Aunt Bee 
Scoldin' the hell out of Opie and me 

Don't tell Andy, don't tell Aunt Bee 
They'll come lookin' for Opie and me 
Tell 'em we're dead or tell 'em we're gone 
Me and Opie.... Down by the duck Pond.

Trivia

A fun tribute to some of the late cast of the Andy Griffith Show, most recently Andy himself. This show continues to be iconic across generations. We think its simplicity and genuinely relational comic content still appeals to people of all ages and walks, despite all the corruption & technology coming into our homes these days. Perhaps as a people, we still yearn for the simple and innocent. We had to chuckle at this tongue in cheek number by BR5-49's attempt to corrupt the show and bring it down to the level we have become accustomed to in some of the more recent sitcoms :-)
