Cat Ballou (1965) starring Jone Fonda, Lee Marvin,

Cat Ballou was declared an instant classic with its blend of Western parody and rapid-fire action. Lee Marvin won an Oscar® for Best Actor as Kid Shelleen, the woozy, boozy, has-been gunslinger. Jane Fonda, at the height of her sex-kitten period, stars as Catherine “Cat” Ballou, the schoolmarm-turned-outlaw. She hires Kid to protect her father’s ranch from a greedy railroad tycoon. Filmed in just 32 days, Cat Ballou went on to become one of the biggest box office hits of 1965. With singing minstrels Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye.

Well now friends just lend an ear
For you’re now about to hear
The ballad of Cat Ballou-ou
It’s a song that’s newly made
And Professor Sam the Shade
And the Sunrise Kid are singin’ it for you
Cat Ballou

Song lyrics to The Country’s in the Very Best of Hands, from the musical Li’l Abner. Music by Gene de Paul . Lyrics by Johnny Mercer

Them city folks and we-uns
Are pretty much alike
Though they ain’t used to living in the sticks
We don’t like stone or cement
But we is in agreement
When we get started talking politics
