The Still Or Leave It To Beaver

As I rounded the hill Face to face with the still That I'd only heard rumors spoke of With no one around I sat myself down And proceeded to sample the stuff As sweet as honeydew melon Got my feet to a geling Made me feel like I did in my youth Sat with a dumb gaze for a while Then got the biggest of smiles When it came to me what I should do So I went with my plan And opened a stand Right there on the mountain side When word in the forest got out I never had any doubt That all of the critters would be stoping by You should have seen them all guzzle As the squirrels ordered doubles Then proceeded to tell wild nutty lies It was quite the fiasco When they brought out the cowboy hats and lasso's As the party went well into the night They paid in nuts and berries Which was fine by me With them I made different flavors of shine In flavors I made 32 So I wouldn't get sued By Baskin-Robbins who has 31 at this time From all the flavors I made Boysenberry was the fav The raccoons made up a dance called the boysenberry crawl Which was a big hit At the discotheque The beavers built in the early fall We made a deal I would sell them my swill For a little piece of the pie We were all getting rich I have to admit It's quite the relationship, the beavers and I Of course the beavers got greedy You know how beavers are needy Couldn't leave well enough alone Figured they had the right Who's going to pay for these lights That make this the best disco in town They started charging a cover Which didn't go over As well as they would have liked Plus they doubled the price of the booze Which left little food On the woodland creatures tables at night Things went from bad to worse When they started to curse Me, "The Man" for the troubles they had I barely made it out alive By the skin of my hide When I packed and hit the road mighty fast Things had been going so well Before it all went to hell And me and my still were forced to leave Now still to this day You know why I always say That famous line, passed down in time "Leave it to Beav"
