Quotes

  • Green Acres is the place to be;Farm living is the life for me.
  • There were three sisters, three little sisters,And each one was only in her teens,And one loved a soldier, and one loved a sailor,And one loved a man from the marines.
  • And those three sisters, three little sisters,They stayed home and read their magazines,And you can tell it to the army, tell it to the navy,And tell it to the marines.
  • They're creepy and they're kooky,Mysterious and spooky,They're all together ooky,The Addams Family.
