What Would Jed Do?
© 2008 Jayme Kelly Curtis

Gomez Addams had the right idea
Insofar as how he treated his wife Morticia
Gomez never missed an opportunity
To praise her ghoulish charms
And frequently would cover her with kisses
Take a tip from Gomez
That's the kind of man you wanna be

Darrin Stephens, much on the other hand,
Felt threatened by his foxy wife Samantha
Samantha was a powerful babe
Bewitched the water into wine
But Darrin only bitched and whined
Take a tip from me
That ain’t the kind of man you wanna be

Hawkeye Pierce questioned authority
And even though he drank too many dry martinis
Hawkeye always knew right from wrong
He kept his chin up and stayed real strong
When all around him raged war and adversity
Take a tip from Hotlips
That's the kind of man you wanna be

 Old Jed Clampett looked sharp in his courtin' best
And though he was a rich man, he never puffed out his chest
He showed decency and common sense
He spoke with a down home eloquence
 And he was early to bed and earlier to rise
Take a tip from Granny
That's the kind of man you wanna be

Venus Flytrap on WKRP
Had the grooviest hair and a smooth sensibility
Venus Flytrap liked romance
He liked candles and music and sweet incense
Yes Venus was sure of his masculinity
Take a tip from Venus
That's the kind of man you wanna be
 
Turn off your TV and tell me
What kind of man do you want to be?
