ABC LYRICS

Want you to meet the family that’s known as The Real McCoys
From West Virginee they came to stay in sunny Californi-ay.
That’s Grand Pappy Amos and the girls and the boys of the family known as the Real McCoys.

Livin’ like good folks should live, as happy as kids with toys.
Ole Grand Pappy Amos is head of the clan, he roars like a lion, but he’s gentle as a lamb.
His grandson Luke keeps beaming with joy, since he made miss Kate Missus Luke McCoy.

What a house keeper Kate is, she’s doin’ what she enjoys.
No gal can beat her when it comes to looks, the same can be said about the way she cooks.
For Grand Pappy Amos and the girls and boys of the family known as the Real McCoys.

Sharing each others sorrows, enjoyin’ each others joys.
Like all other families they quarrel and fuss, but it ain’t never serious,
With Grand Pappy Amos and the girls and boys of the family known as the Real McCoys.

CBS LYRICS

Want you to meet the family known as The Real McCoys
From West Virginee they came to stay in sunny Californi-ay
That's Grand Pappy Amos and the good-lookin' boy
Is his favorite grandson Luke McCoy.

Want you to meet Pepino, the family's hired hand
And that's ol' George who lives next door,
A friend and neighbor you met before
Together they share all the sorrows and joys
Of the family known as The Real McCoys.
