"The Bloomfield Hillbillies"

People let me tell you a story about a man named Fred.
Man was so poor he had a mortgage on his bed.
Then one day he was mowin' his back lawn. All of a
sudden he hit somethin' mighty hard;
uranium, 238, radioactive, glowing.
Well, the first thing you know old Fred's a millionaire.
The environmentalists said, "Fred get the hell outta there."
They said the suburbs is the place you oughta be.
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Oakland County.
Bloomfield, Hills that is.
Swimmin' pools, movie stars, high property rates.

Submitter comment: I learned this during a graduation party from Brian;
it was a parody of the Beverly Hillbillies song on the TV
show.
