The Lyrics
Leave It To Beaver's Eddie Haskell was one of the greatest second bananas of late-50s/early-60s TV. Who woulda thought he'd grow up to become Bill Clinton?
Fe Fe - Fi Fi - Fo Fo - Fum,
I smell a rat coming to the Cleaver home.
(Chorus)
Eddie Haskell . . . Eddie Haskell.
He's a rascal - That Eddie Haskell.
"Good evening, Mrs. Cleaver - Is your son, Wallace free?"
"Why's Old man Cleaver giving me the third degree?!!"
(Verse)
Dressed in BVDs - Out in the cold.
Someone snatched his khaki chinos - Ran 'em up the flag pole.
(Chorus)
Eddie Haskell . . . Eddie Haskell.
What a ham - "You got it, Sam!"
His Eddie Haskell cheeks - are flappin' in the breeze.
"Why're all the girls always laughin' at me?!!"
(That Confounded Bridge)
Who's givin' business to the Beav?
Bummin' rides in Lumpy's jalopy?
Hasn't had a date since '53?
Guess who (Eddie?) "You got it, Gertrude!"
(Verse)
Who draws on the blackboard - diagrams,
To show what a Beaver Cleaver really am?
(Chorus)
Eddie Haskell . . . Eddie Haskell.
What a rascal . . . That Eddie Haskell.
Still in the 10th grade - He must be sixty-three.
"Why's Mrs. Rayburn always pickin' on me?!!"
I smell a rat coming to the Cleaver home.
(Chorus)
Eddie Haskell . . . Eddie Haskell.
He's a rascal - That Eddie Haskell.
"Good evening, Mrs. Cleaver - Is your son, Wallace free?"
"Why's Old man Cleaver giving me the third degree?!!"
(Verse)
Dressed in BVDs - Out in the cold.
Someone snatched his khaki chinos - Ran 'em up the flag pole.
(Chorus)
Eddie Haskell . . . Eddie Haskell.
What a ham - "You got it, Sam!"
His Eddie Haskell cheeks - are flappin' in the breeze.
"Why're all the girls always laughin' at me?!!"
(That Confounded Bridge)
Who's givin' business to the Beav?
Bummin' rides in Lumpy's jalopy?
Hasn't had a date since '53?
Guess who (Eddie?) "You got it, Gertrude!"
(Verse)
Who draws on the blackboard - diagrams,
To show what a Beaver Cleaver really am?
(Chorus)
Eddie Haskell . . . Eddie Haskell.
What a rascal . . . That Eddie Haskell.
Still in the 10th grade - He must be sixty-three.
"Why's Mrs. Rayburn always pickin' on me?!!"

Great job, David! I love Eddie Haskell!
The thing with ol' Eddie is that everyone knows someone exactly like him. This is what made him so great on that old show. Great parody, David. I noted a small pacing problem with the name Eddie Haskell as opposed to Charlie Brown but I'm sliding you on it.
Great job! I did something about Wally Cleaver recently. Check out "Hello, Wally!" at http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/louisarmstrong6.shtml
Thanks, Jack, Guy. Yeah, it was a judgement call on the pacing, but the original song, "Charlie Brown" sets such a good stage for an Eddie Haskell parody. Charlie Brown (the song's hero - not the Peanuts character) is everything Eddie wants to be, but isn't. For him, it's just bravado.
Good job!
i agree that the pacing was a little odd, but its a great subject and i'm a huge beaver fan....so i give ya 5s....
As I like to say, a 5 for Pacing doesn't mean "Perfect", it only means "Lots" - and there's lots to laugh about in this Beaverological study of The Haskellnator. 555
Loved it ---David!
Tank ya, tank ya. Yes Jan, I loved your Wally parody. Remember, you suggested that someone come up with an "Eddie" parody. Well, someone did.
Yes, and you did it very well!
