The PCS Season

Tune borrowed from The Ballad of Jed Clampett by Paul Henning


Come and listen to a story about a place named Post.
A military family got the call to vaminose,
Cause summertime's here and it's time to move along...
So you pack up all your stuff, and sing that little song.

Move that is, go now, PCS.

Well the first thing you know, all your friends are shipping out,
They're going to Ft Benning. It just makes you want to shout!
Another heads for San Antone, it makes you want to cry…
Movers loaded up the truck and we all said a good bye.

Later, that is. See you ‘round. Another post.

Well now its time to say hello to the new ones coming in.
And we’d like to help you settle, but not quite become your friend.
Cause it will be our turn, and I’m counting the days down,
I don’t know where we’ll go, but to some great US town!

America, that is. Home again. U.S. soil.

Y’all come back now, ya hear?

And just in case you were curious...The original Beverly Hillbillies Lyrics

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.


Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You're all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality

Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?.
