The Andy Griffith Show Theme Song Performance
A vocal rendition of the theme song from The Andy Griffith Show, originally titled The Fishin' Hole, is performed. The lyrics describe a relaxing day spent fishing, skipping stones, and resting in the shade by a fishing hole with a dog named Trey. This musical introduction sets a nostalgic tone before the transition into the main program content.

00:12 Well now take down your fishing pole and meet me at the fishing hole. We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away! What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skipping stones You'll feel fresh as lemonade setting in the shade Whether it's hot Whether it's coups, or what a spot for whistling like a fool. What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by the fishing hole I can't think of a better way to pass the time of day
01:22 We'll have no need to call the road When we get to the vision hole There'll be you, me and old dog Trey To doodle time away If we don't hook a perch or bass We'll cool our toes in dewy grass Or else pull up a weed to char And maybe set and jar Hangin' around, takin' our eave Watchin' that hound a-scratchin at his flee Come on take down your fishing pole And meet me at the fishing hole I can't think of a better way to pass the time of day
03:11 so
