Li’l Abner (1940) is an American musical comedy directed by Albert S. Rogell, based on Al Capp’s wildly popular comic strip. The film follows the good‑natured but clueless Li’l Abner Yokum, who lives in the backwoods town of Dogpatch with his devoted sweetheart Daisy Mae. When a wealthy socialite becomes infatuated with Abner, chaos erupts as Daisy Mae fights to win him back, the townsfolk chase fame and fortune, and Dogpatch’s eccentric characters collide in a whirlwind of slapstick, romance, and satire. The film blends early comic‑strip humor with lively musical numbers and exaggerated rural caricature.

00:03:08Ow!
00:03:14We did it!!
00:03:15Oh!
00:03:16Way to
00:03:17the
00:03:23the
00:03:29It's a pity you ain't married, so we wouldn't be putting up with them waspeless critters to get a little
00:03:33work done.
00:03:34But, Granny, I told you that...
00:03:35Look at you. There you stand with the best years of your life behind you.
00:03:39And there you're hiding the hair of a husband as you got.
00:03:43But I ain't interested in marrying just any men, folks. I love little Abner.
00:03:48Pretty soon the men, folks, ain't even going to look at you.
00:03:50They desire youngers. Gals with spooks.
00:03:56I don't care. It's only little Abner I was waiting for.
00:04:01Judge your word, Granny!
00:04:04Well, it's about time.
00:04:09Oh, the cops are...
00:04:16You clumsy, is it?
00:04:18You trying to knock over our poor little house?
00:04:23I only brung a handful, Granny, and you told me to pile it close to the cabin.
00:04:29I'll die!
00:04:30Help!
00:04:30Take them water.
00:04:32If I catch you throwing any more wood in my house, I'll...
00:04:38I'll...
00:04:46I'll die!
00:04:46It's Granny!
00:04:53Well, can me, Brown.
00:04:56Oh!
00:04:57He can't help it!
00:04:58He's stupid!
00:05:00He sure is!
00:05:02And so are you!
00:05:03You big lummit!
00:05:05It'll be the death of me, yes!
00:05:08I'll die!
00:05:09I don't know if Daisy may could only get that little abner.
00:05:20Is you very hungry this morning, son?
00:05:22Not ravenous, Mammy, just kinda.
00:05:25Well, in that case, I'll only put on just a few more.
00:05:36Is he up, Pappy?
00:05:41Pappy, is he up?
00:05:48He's sure to try my patience.
00:05:54How you coming, Pangee? How you wait? I'm coming.
00:05:59Here, son. Set yourself.
00:06:09I sure ain't hungry.
00:06:14Someday, I ain't gonna wake you up for breakfast.
00:06:17And you're gonna sleep right through all your meals.
00:06:19Oh, one happy game.
00:06:21I reckon we have the finest food in all the world.
00:06:24Polk chops and eggs for breakfast.
00:06:26Polk chops and goobers for lunch.
00:06:28And for supper, more polk chops.
00:06:31Even though this ain't Sunday, we might...
00:06:33Now, don't you start getting your mouth set for them preserved turnips, Lucifer Ornamental Yoakum.
00:06:40Little Abner's taking them to the store directly after breakfast.
00:06:51See if you can make out this printing.
00:06:56What do you make of it?
00:06:58Nothing. Good for fire.
00:07:00No, no. Readin'.
00:07:03Howdy, fellas.
00:07:04Howdy, little Abner.
00:07:06Him read printing?
00:07:07Sure does.
00:07:09I can read writin' and readin', too.
00:07:11Oh, you's the most intelligent young gentleman in dog batch.
00:07:14I reckon I is.
00:07:16What him say?
00:07:23Among the distinguished visitors...
00:07:29Well, tickle my bones.
00:07:32That certainly do sound pretty.
00:07:34Will be...
00:07:37Dr. James A.
00:07:40Barber.
00:07:42The...
00:07:46Celebrated...
00:07:46Peacet...
00:07:48Peacet...
00:07:49Peacet...
00:07:49Peacet...
00:07:50Peacet...
00:07:50Peacet...
00:07:50Printing's all mixed up, sure.
00:07:52I reckon I better study it out.
00:07:54Huh.
00:07:56Peacet...
00:07:59Peacet...
00:08:00Peacet...
00:08:01What's that?
00:08:02Maybe it's a woodpepper.
00:08:06Shh...
00:08:07Maybe it's skunk hollers.
00:08:09Oh.
00:08:17Oh.
00:08:19Oh, it's Cicero Gronce.
00:08:22It's your little Abner.
00:08:24Teacet...
00:08:24What are you doing here, boy?
00:08:26Oh, nothing. Just hanging these up for the sheriff.
00:08:29Don't you tell nobody you saw me with these papers.
00:08:32Go fret yourself, Cicero grunts. We won't.
00:08:37What'd him say?
00:08:40$25 reward for Earthquake Magoon.
00:08:44Dade or alive. Better date.
00:08:47For robbing the first state bank of Jonesville. The sheriff.
00:08:56And do it really say $25 cash money?
00:09:01That's what it's saying.
00:09:02Oh, that sheriff must think we all idiots.
00:09:07They ain't that much money in the whole of Tarnation.
00:09:10Oh, shit. What's the use of talking?
00:09:13Anyone knows you can't go with a skunk holler and come out alive.
00:09:17So our guess is Magoon's safe.
00:09:21Hey, didn't I told you that paper ain't meant for making fire?
00:09:26Yeah.
00:09:27You'll keep it, little Abner. Maybe you can read again for us.
00:09:31Oh, but glad to.
00:09:32Well, I gotta get it going. So long.
00:09:35So long.
00:09:4925 dollars.
00:09:53Oh, come on, come on, come on.

00:10:44Messes is right.
00:10:46You never seen such messes as some of them boys.
00:10:49Four days you meet, she can't get even one.
00:10:52Oh, that's too bad.
00:10:53She's welcome to any of these.
00:10:56I don't think she'd be interested.
00:10:59She's plumb salt on just one boy.
00:11:02Where is she?
00:11:03Down large, chasing after that little Abner.
00:11:07You mean that big, handsome boy?
00:11:10Mm-hmm.
00:11:14I think I'll go down and look up for days in May.
00:11:20That's all, boys.
00:11:22Ooh.
00:11:23Ooh.
00:11:37Lovely.
00:11:39That's what he is.
00:11:41Just plain lovely.
00:11:51Little Abner, you.
00:11:54The same.
00:11:56Is she going north to Pineapple Junction?
00:11:58No.
00:11:59Is she maybe headed south for Sweet Patootty Corners?
00:12:02No.
00:12:03Why is she headed for, little Abner?
00:12:05I'm headed for so tart at John's stall.
00:12:07I will ask for and receive.
00:12:09Five pounds of boiled ham, one spoon of thread number ten white, one can of Pineapple, two pounds of cheese,
00:12:15half soles for Pappy's Boots, one large jar of Sweet Patootty, one large jar of sour pickle, one bottle of
00:12:21catsup, one bottle of mustard, one can of pea potter for salome, two twists of pipe tobacco for my mammy.
00:12:27That art turns on my heel, makes a beeline for home.
00:12:31What a pea-coo-ya coincidence.
00:12:34I said it was off out of John's stall likewise.
00:12:36And likewise, I need to turn on my heel and make a beeline back job.
00:12:41Oh.

00:13:08Help!
00:13:09I twisted my ankle!

00:13:19I reckon I must have stepped on loose rock.
00:13:23Oh!

00:20:06well it ain't the kiss in our minds it's a trouble it starts
00:20:08you kiss a girl and what happens
00:20:10she gets romantic because she wants more
00:20:12she follows you day and night and
00:20:14finally your brain weakens and you marries her
00:20:16you have lots of chillin
00:20:18gets old and gray worrying about them
00:20:20so your chillin marries and has chillin
00:20:22then you not only got to worry about your chillin
00:20:24but about your grandchildren
00:20:25your grandchildren has chillin
00:20:27and

00:23:46You kissed me, I didn't kiss you.
00:23:48No, cause if I did, we'd be engaged.
00:23:51That's the code of the hills.
00:23:53Oh, my boy.
00:23:57Oh.
00:24:02Ain't he honorable?
00:24:05Hmph.
00:24:07I'm going back to Pineapple Junction.
00:24:10These men around here don't make no sense.
00:24:14He sure makes sense to me.
00:24:23Pansy, you're scrubbing a hide off my back.
00:24:27Might as well quit complaining, Lucifer.
00:24:29It's coming on winter and it's time for your bath.
00:24:32Oh, I'm the most unhappy man.
00:24:36Hi, Lucifer.
00:24:39Morning, Fantastic Brown.
00:24:42Hmm.
00:24:43Don't seem like no time since I gave my Fantastic his spring clean in.
00:24:49Ow!
00:24:50Ow!
00:24:52Take home when that's what it ain't.
00:24:54Get for home.
00:24:55You're next.
00:24:56Oh, it ain't no ass near time for my winter scrubbing.
00:24:59Oh, wow.
00:25:03Mammy.
00:25:05Off feels damp, Mammy.
00:25:07And powerful hungry.
00:25:09Varka always does come noon.
00:25:11Pick yourself a sandwich.
00:25:12That'll keep you spanked up.
00:25:14Sure.
00:25:14But don't dare quit till it gets through with Pappy.
00:25:16蟹蛹蛻.
00:25:18Wait.
00:25:22Get up.
00:25:24Oh.
00:25:26Oh.
00:25:30Oh.
00:25:36Ow.
00:25:39Ow!
00:25:41Board jueys, ain't you got no mercy.
00:25:44When I've got a job to do, I does it.
00:25:47Howdy, Mrs. Yoakam.
00:25:49Howdy, Hannibal Hoop.
00:25:52Where at's little Abner?
00:25:54Me and him are going fishing.
00:25:56He's getting himself some fiddles.
00:25:59I'll go tell him I'm here.
00:26:06Pansy have a little mercy on me.
00:26:10What you fixing, little Abner?
00:26:12Yoakam's starvation preventer.
00:26:15Smells like you've got sweet patootie in her.
00:26:17Not only sweet patootie, but I also saw a pickle.
00:26:20Ham and cheese with catsup.
00:26:22Pineapple.
00:26:23Sardines, without the can, of course.
00:26:25Two fried eggs left from breakfast.
00:26:26A rash of roast pork and lots of catsup.
00:26:28Ain't you finished yet, Pansy?
00:26:32I started at the top.
00:26:44You see?
00:26:45You're beginning to like it.
00:26:47Oh.
00:26:48Oh.
00:26:49Oh.
00:26:50з-
00:26:50�-
00:26:50е-
00:26:50here.
00:26:53Ha-ha-ha.
00:27:01E-
00:27:02be-
00:27:04he-
00:27:04ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:27:09you
00:27:18sure looks powerful good
00:27:26something missing maybe it's mustard
00:27:29maybe it was right
00:27:35A little mustard ought to fix her.
00:27:45Stay right while you're weak.
00:27:48Come here, Salome.
00:27:57Here, Salome.
00:27:59Might as well put the paint in, Salome.
00:28:02Won't do you no good.
00:28:10What's the matter, little Abner?
00:28:12I've got a most peculiar feeling.
00:28:15Oh, it must be because my stomach's empty.
00:28:30I've got a terrible misery in my stomach.
00:28:33What you put in your sandwich, son?
00:28:35Just a few things and enough ketchup and horseradish and mustard to make it tasty.
00:28:40Mustard?
00:28:41You know that stuff ain't agreed with you since the time you ate that mustard plaster when you was a
00:28:46little baby.
00:28:46What you'll need is a doctor.
00:28:49There ain't no doctor around here.
00:28:51You knows that.
00:28:52There'll be one.
00:28:53Says so right here.
00:28:55Dr. Barber will be on the limited when it stops at the county side in Florida at noon.
00:29:01Oh, and that's right where I'ma go.
00:29:06Don't be late for supper, son.
00:29:21Well, there she is.
00:29:27Oh, I wonder what Dr. Barber is at.
00:29:32Always stretch the old soup bones when you get a chance.
00:29:34That's what I always say.
00:29:36There's a man got on a white coat like doctors has.
00:29:38Maybe that's Dr. Barber.
00:29:40I'll go ask him.
00:29:41You go that-a-way in case it ain't.
00:29:49Is your barber?
00:29:51That's me.
00:29:52What's in your mind, kid?
00:29:53Can you fix me up?
00:29:54Well, that's pretty big order.
00:29:56That mop looks like a busted mattress.
00:29:58But with my trusty scissors, I can probably fix you up all right.
00:30:02You ain't gonna cut me, is you?
00:30:03Hmm?
00:30:04What's the matter with you, boy?
00:30:06I'm sick.
00:30:07Awful sick.
00:30:08Well, now, what am I supposed to do?
00:30:10Bust out in tears?
00:30:11That'd be mighty sweet of you, but all I want to know is what ails me.
00:30:15Well, sir, that's what we'd all like to know.
00:30:19Can't be my appetite.
00:30:20All right.
00:30:21Because I just ate a combination, ham, cheese, pineapple, sardine, sweet patootie, sour,
00:30:27fickle fried egg, preserved turnip, and roast hog sandwich.
00:30:31Whew!
00:30:32Whoa!
00:30:32With cats of horseradish and mustard, doctor.
00:30:35Doctor?
00:30:36Oh.
00:30:38Well, can't be your appetite, son.
00:30:40Let me see, doctor.
00:30:43Hmm?
00:30:44Stick out your tongue.
00:30:45Let me look at that tongue.
00:30:46Stick it way out.
00:30:46Way out.
00:30:47That's it.
00:30:48Now, say ah.
00:30:49Ah.
00:30:50You're flat.
00:30:51Is ah?
00:30:52Well, now, just take a good deep breath now.
00:30:56Take a good deep breath.
00:30:56That's it.
00:30:57Now, stick your stomach out.
00:30:58Come on, stick it out.
00:31:00Stick it way out.
00:31:01That's it.
00:31:01Now, close your eyes.
00:31:03Oh!
00:31:04Did you feel a sharp twinge?
00:31:06All aboard.
00:31:07Oh.
00:31:07My boy, that's bad.
00:31:09That's bad.
00:31:09You've got it.
00:31:10You've got it.
00:31:11What has I got?
00:31:12You've got scrombosis.
00:31:15Scrombosis?
00:31:18Will I die?
00:31:21You're dead now, from the neck up.
00:31:24How soon will the rest of me be dead?
00:31:26In 24 hours.
00:31:31I didn't find no doctor barber.
00:31:34I did.
00:31:36You did?
00:31:36What did he say?
00:31:38He told me I was going to be dead in 24 hours.
00:31:42On account of I got scrombosis.
00:31:47You mean you'll be dead by tomorrow?
00:31:50Dated in a catfish haid come noon.
00:31:54That's life.
00:31:56You are today.
00:31:57You are tomorrow.
00:32:04Hello, mammy.
00:32:05How's your feeling, son?
00:32:06Howdy, pappy.
00:32:07How's your misery?
00:32:08My stomach feels fine.
00:32:10If only the doctor hadn't told me, I wouldn't know I was going to be dead in 24 hours.
00:32:15Dated?
00:32:17What do you mean?
00:32:19Just plain dead.
00:32:21Oh?
00:32:22How's rich?
00:32:24Well, what do you got, is it?
00:32:25Tent your mustard poisoning.
00:32:27Mammy.
00:32:28You're always very comforting.
00:32:34But I has prepared my mind.
00:32:38Well, son.
00:32:40If you're going to be dead, you're going to be dead.
00:32:45We will be most sad and lonely.
00:32:49Would you?
00:32:51Naturally.
00:32:52A daisy male will be most sad, too.
00:32:55Seems to me it ain't fair you're dying.
00:32:58And not telling her nothing about it.
00:33:00You're a key wreck, mammy.
00:33:02All that tells her I loves her.
00:33:04Do you?
00:33:05I mean that I dislike her less than any other gal.
00:33:08What must I do, mammy?
00:33:11You could marry up with her.
00:33:13I could.
00:33:15Now that I'm going to be dead.
00:33:17Sonia, your time's getting mighty short.
00:33:21I'm going to make love to her like she always wanted me to.
00:33:30Pathy, shut your face.
00:33:35Here, Hannibal.
00:33:36You follow little Abner.
00:33:38Does he do anything peculiar?
00:33:40Come back here and tell me.
00:33:41But Mrs. Joachim, he might...
00:33:43He won't just do as I tell you.
00:33:45Yes, ma'am.
00:33:50Little Abner ain't going to be dead in 24 hours.
00:33:54He's going to be married with Daisy Mae.
00:33:58He is?
00:34:02Pappy, you is the most ignorantest critter I ever did see.
00:34:15Well, I must say, you hold your age pretty well.
00:34:18But you is attempting fate.
00:34:21I knows.
00:34:22I'm getting along.
00:34:24Well, you better teach yourself a man this Lady Hawkins day.
00:34:27For you won't be able to run fast enough next year to teach one.
00:34:30I don't want just any man.
00:34:32I want...
00:34:33Little Abner.
00:34:40Kindly step out, you are with me.
00:34:42Yes, ma'am.
00:34:43Of course I will.
00:34:45I was just telling girls...
00:34:47I aims to make love to you.
00:34:48Powerful, romantical love.
00:34:50We were just talking...
00:34:53Huh?
00:34:54What did you think?
00:34:55Who?
00:34:56I'm going to make love to you.
00:34:57Powerful, romantical love.
00:34:59Let's go.
00:35:03Yippee!
00:35:20The sharp place looks romantical enough.
00:35:23It's lovely.
00:35:25Sit down.
00:35:28I now aim is to commence making love to you.
00:35:31Dog patch style?
00:35:32Dog patch style.
00:35:48I was ready.
00:35:50I've been ready for yours.
00:35:59You're once to tell me I was your sweet patootie blossom.
00:36:06You're once to tell me you loves me.
00:36:12That you just can't live without me.
00:36:23Oh, little Abner, that's just exactly what I want to hear you say.
00:36:27Because love is what I was in over with you.
00:36:34Don't do that.
00:36:35I can't stand it.
00:36:36It's awful.
00:36:37Is it so awful just to have me near you, little Abner?
00:36:41It makes me feel miserable.
00:36:43When I feel miserable, I was the most unhappy man.
00:36:51I don't want to make you unhappy, little Abner.
00:37:02Shanks.
00:37:05Daisy Mae.
00:37:07Yes, little Abner.
00:37:08Come back, y'all.
00:37:10Yes, little Abner.
00:37:12This ain't the way I planned it.
00:37:14Sit down.
00:37:16Set your eyes.
00:37:24Wee-hee!
00:37:25Wee-hee!
00:37:28Oh, congratulations!
00:37:31You, you landed him.
00:37:33Will you wear your pink cheesecloth or your white muslim with the make-believe sweet patootie blossoms?
00:37:40I reckon I'll wear the pink with the white sweet patootie veil.
00:37:44Does you think that'll look pretty, little Abner?
00:37:47Sure will.
00:37:48You aiming to go to a party?
00:37:50Yep, a wedding party.
00:37:52Oh, very unfortunate.
00:37:54Well, who's it getting married?
00:37:55You and her, naturally.
00:37:58Me and her?
00:37:59Yep, you and her.
00:38:01I didn't say nothing about no getting married.
00:38:04I wanted to make her happy, so I kissed her.
00:38:06That's all.
00:38:07That's enough.
00:38:08The boys around here don't kiss girls until the day before they get married.
00:38:12And today's the day before you get married.
00:38:15That's the code of the hills.
00:38:22All respects and salutes the code of the hills.
00:38:28I love the code of the hills.
00:38:37Come on, Gail.
00:38:39Tomorrow noon's coming fast enough and you've got things to do.
00:38:42Come on.
00:38:43Goodbye, little Abner, dear.
00:38:46I'll be at your wedding tomorrow.
00:38:54Well, Abner, you can't get married tomorrow noon.
00:38:59I've got it.
00:39:01It's the code of the hills.
00:39:05But you'll be dead.
00:39:09And if I'm dead, I can't be married.
00:39:14Oh, happy tomorrow noon.
00:39:23I've got things to do.
00:39:25Here I am, knowing all about my future.
00:39:28And doing nothing about my mammies and my poor pappies.
00:39:32You know, it's most kind and considerate to be thinking of them at a time like this.
00:39:37Do you see this paper?
00:39:39Sure, I ain't blind.
00:39:41That's the Magoon reward.
00:39:46I'm going to skunk holler.
00:39:49But our eye aims to call briefly on Earthquake Magoon.
00:39:53That's what I aims to do.
00:39:57Little Abner.
00:40:17Do we do anything peculiar?
00:40:19I'll go to the little Abner's mammy and I'll tell her.
00:40:32I smell a live dogpatcher.
00:40:34How you'll know he's a dogpatcher?
00:40:36Because he don't smell.
00:40:40Will you quit feinting and open that safe?
00:40:43I only brung you along because you're the cashier.
00:40:47Yes, sir, Mr. Magoon.
00:40:50I'm a bit nervous.
00:41:1011-day dog boulevard.
00:41:16Top floor.
00:41:28Earthquake Magoon, I presume?
00:41:30The same.
00:41:34I was here to take you to the sheriff.
00:41:36For I aims to collect the $25 reward.
00:41:40That's most interesting.
00:41:41This all gives to my sweet mammy and pappy,
00:41:44which they will use to live most comfortably
00:41:47the rest of their natural lives in dogpatch.
00:41:53Is Joe from dogpatch?
00:41:56Natural.
00:41:57Does Joe know that he's about to be dead?
00:42:01Goon's got a live dogpatch up there.
00:42:06Hey, Dadran!
00:42:07Hold on, Dad!
00:42:08Come on!
00:42:09Hey, Magoon!

00:50:10Does you like it up here?
00:50:21Yeah, I think it's fine.
00:50:24Cornelius, does they beat you good?
00:50:27You know, does you get preserved tornips and poke chops, maybe?
00:50:32Well, yeah, of course I does.
00:50:35Oh, gosh.
00:50:36That's most encouraging.
00:50:44Well, I gotta be walking along.
00:50:46Well, is y'all gonna walk?
00:50:51Yeah, sure.
00:50:57Confounded idiot.
00:50:58He walks.
00:50:59And with a pair of wings like that.
00:51:02But I ain't no chump.
00:51:04I'm gonna fly.
00:51:06Hey!
00:51:07Don't, don't, don't!
00:51:10Don't!
00:51:17I guess I ain't been dead long enough for him to sprout.
00:51:20What's the matter with your boy?
00:51:23Cornelius!
00:51:24What's the matter with you?
00:51:27Where aren't your wings?
00:51:29Stop it!
00:51:30Stop it!
00:51:31Stop it!
00:51:32Is you crazy?
00:51:33Or are you just trying to kill yourself?
00:51:36I can't kill myself.
00:51:37Because I was already dead.
00:51:39Or is I?
00:51:42Look.
00:51:43You're the lifest looking yokem I ever seen.
00:51:48Oh, I just gotta be dead.
00:51:51On account of I done promised to marry up with two different gals come noon.
00:51:54Oh, what must I do?
00:51:59Mammy!
00:52:01I'm gonna fly home and...
00:52:05I'm gonna walk home.
00:52:14Molly!
00:52:19All right on her first.
00:52:22Yammy!
00:52:24Hooray!
00:52:29Hooray!
00:52:30Hooray who's your man and Michael.
00:52:32Hooray the head for Maya Hawkins.
00:52:36Hooray, Hooray, Hooray, Hooray!
00:52:40Quiet, gals, quiet!
00:52:45I is about to officially proclaim an announcement
00:52:48about Sadie Hawkins' day, which is tomorrow.
00:52:56Any man that does not appear
00:53:00will suffer the most de-stressful consequences.
00:53:06My committee here...
00:53:09will choose a wife for him,
00:53:12and Mary and Sam will do the rest.
00:53:17My dear friends of dog pack...
00:53:19That's all.
00:53:20The official course is marked up with the usual flags
00:53:24and is now open for practice.
00:53:31Now, Tavari, when I fires a shot that starts the race...
00:53:44I can't do it. I ain't a goner.
00:53:47I was supposed to be dead.
00:53:49But you promised me, little Abner.
00:53:51He did not.
00:53:53He's got an engagement for marriage with me at this very moment.
00:53:56He has not!
00:53:56Because he's gonna marry with me at this very moment.
00:53:59He's mine!
00:54:00He's mine!
00:54:01Mine!
00:54:01Mine!
00:54:02Mine!
00:54:05Mine!
00:54:08Mine!
00:54:10Mine!
00:54:11Mine!
00:54:12Mine!
00:54:13Mine!
00:54:14Mine!
00:54:20Mine!
00:54:26I told you!
00:54:28Just a minute, just a minute.
00:54:32Little Ebner, did you promise these two gals?
00:54:36Well, yes, sir.
00:54:38You promise, that's all I want to know, thank you.
00:54:45Committee!
00:54:51It is my decision that this matter be settled tomorrow in the Sadie Hawkins race.
00:54:57Whichever gal catches him, he's hard.
00:55:01In the meantime, little Ebner Yoakum is reserved for only these two gals until sundown tomorrow.
00:55:12And may the best gal win!
00:55:15Daisy Mae, good luck.
00:55:17Thank you, Mayor.
00:55:18And good luck to you, Wendy.
00:55:22And little Ebner, little Ebner.
00:55:28So, naturally, I figured I was going to be dead.
00:55:31Instead of which, I'm afraid I'm going to be married up with two different gals.
00:55:35Mammy, you gotta have me.
00:55:37Son, your hair's got yourself in a terrible mess.
00:55:41What must I do?
00:55:43According to the rules of Sadie Hawkins' day, I can't tell you nothing.
00:55:48I got an idea, little Ebner.
00:55:49If something should happen to Wendy Wildcat...
00:55:52Get it!
00:55:52She war... war...
00:55:55But somebody's gotta help me.
00:55:57All I can do is just give you a hint.
00:56:00What is it, Mammy?
00:56:02It's safer to be a hound dog than a rabbit.
00:56:05What you mean, Pangey?
00:56:07Yeah.
00:56:08That's all I can tell you.
00:56:11Safer to be a hound dog than a rabbit.
00:56:15Ah, quit your worrying, son.
00:56:17I washed you a nice, clean shirt for the Sadie Hawkins celebration tonight.
00:56:22Go on, go and have a lot of fun.
00:56:26Safer to be a hound dog than a rabbit.
00:56:33Good night.
00:56:39Keep riding the groove, boys.
00:56:43Oh, I sure hate these normal dancers.
00:56:45Shoes hurt smart beats, too.
00:56:49Look, I can't beat you.
00:56:53Ah, .
00:56:59I'm stuck!
00:57:03You, that ain't the way to dance.
00:57:05Sure is, nice for Sadie Hawkins' day.
00:57:16Little Abner, tomorrow we'll be liable to be back.
00:57:19There's no more.
00:57:21Little Abner, sure wouldn't mind to have this dance with you.
00:57:30Shax!
00:57:36Hold on, darling, Joe. You had your share.
00:57:40Little Abner, I wishes to dance with you.
00:57:44Oh, I don't want to dance.
00:57:46Don't make no difference. We'll say you got it.
00:57:48That's right.
00:57:50Oh, shax.
00:58:06Excuse me very kindly, but it's now my turn to dance.
00:58:15Give me a chord, boys.

01:00:15Oh, here's a thinker.
01:00:16About me?
01:00:18I was trying to figure out why it's safer to be a hound dog than a rabbit.
01:00:25Your riddle is simple.
01:00:26On account it's safer to chase than to be chased.
01:00:37And it's it now!

01:10:54What boy is your after?
01:10:57I was just... I was just a stranger around here. I'm looking them over.
01:11:02Well, mustn't take too long. A windy wildcat will catch little Abner's shore.
01:11:08What air so humorous?
01:11:11I just thought maybe he ain't worth catching.
01:11:13What do you mean he ain't worth catching? He's the finest boy in all these shore hills.
01:11:17And the best looking. Why all the gals is crazy down here.
01:11:20Little Abner!
01:11:23Oh!
01:11:35Hands off! I catched him first.
01:11:39I suppose you think you got yourself something.
01:11:41I sure has.
01:11:42Little Abner, dear, you was mine at life.
01:11:47Little Abner!
01:11:50Little Abner.
01:11:52Every gal in town is after Little Abner, poor Abner.
01:11:58He's a superman that's swimmin'.
01:12:00He'll give any man a trimmin'.
01:12:03But when it comes to kissin' pretty women.
01:12:06Little Abner.
01:12:07Oh!
01:12:08Daisy may pursue him.
01:12:11He always runs away.
01:12:13Daisy hollers.
01:12:14Oh!
01:12:15But you oughta see him go on Sadie Hawkins day.
01:12:18Little Abner.
01:12:20Little Abner.
01:12:20Ooh-hoo!
01:12:21Little Abner.
01:12:22Ooh-hoo!
01:12:23He's the biggest catchin' dog batch.
01:12:26Little Abner.
01:12:27Little Abner.
01:12:29He's so handsome and so dashin'
01:12:31That the gals can't stop their mashin'.
01:12:34But when they whisper, what's your spashin'?
01:12:36Little Abner says, poor child!
01:12:39Little Abner says, poor child!
