The Hazzard County Valentine’s Day
Dance
“Hey Luke, since I am an old married
man now, you should have your pick of who you are takin’ to the dance!”
“Thanks Bo, your such a pal,
cousin.”
“Well I try.”
Candy over hears that as she is looking over her sheet music
for her brand new song while Daisy is fixing her hair…
Say That You’ll Always Be
My Valentine
Ever since I looked into
your eyes,
I’ve had this sweet
feelin’ inside of this heart.
When you asked me to be
your wife on that most special night,
It was the happiest moment
of my life.
So please say that you’ll
always be my valentine and
that you’ll love me for the rest of my life
‘cause darlin’
to you’ll I’ll always be true. For me there’ll
be no one new.
So please say that you’ll
always be mine.
Yes, together we’ve made a
life so sweet and now that we’ve got our little
Honeybee sweetheart, our
life is complete.
So please say that you
feel the same way too and
to my heart, you’ll always
be true.
Now I wonder who she wrote that for?
“Hey fellas, did Enos tell y’all
when he’d be here to pick me up for the dance?” Daisy yelled from the closed
bathroom door.
“He should be here any minute.” Luke
paused as the door swung open and they came out. “Daisy, you better be careful
or Enos might forget he’s a gentleman!”
Candy smiled. “What do you think,
fellas?”
“You look beautiful.” Bo walks over
to Candy and kisses her, who returns the kiss with one of her own.
Luke and Daisy smile as little
Honeybee walks for the very first time over to her parents and says, “Dada,
your betiful.”
Bo lets out a great big YEEHAW at
being called Dada for the first time. He smiles, then a knock is heard on the
door and Enos peeks his head through the door. “Hey, its time to go y’all.”
Everyone in Hazzard is at the dance, this year Cletus brought
Lilly Duberry. Crazy Cooter is with Nancy Johnson. It’s true Rosco’s
date Tilly Brown howls at the moon but she’s a heck of a dancer. And those two girls right there are the
Jones sisters…
“Luke Duke won’t get away from me
tonight. Too bad that his cousin got married.” Betty comments.
Kathy snickers. “Married? It’s
probably in name only! Why else would a hot blooded man like Bo marry a cripple
in a wheelchair inless it was for her money?”
“You don’t think they--”
“Of course not.”
“Hello ladies, well that is what I
am gonna call you tonight since we are in a public place. Bo and I are married
in everyway. Honeybee is proof of that.” Candy smiles and points to where her
husband is dancing with the little girl in his arms.
Kathy rolls her eyes. “Well I
never-”
“Bo and I sure do every chance we
get.” Candy smiles as Bo walks over just then after Luke takes Honeybee to
dance some more.
“My Candy Cane always tells the
truth, ladies.” Bo flashes a smile. “C’mon darling, its time for you to go on
stage.”
Candy blushes as Bo helps her over to the stage just then and
everyone gathers around.
She quickly looks over the crowd before she speaks.
“Y’all know for the most that I
retired from performin’ when I got married. Even though I’ve been busy with the
baby, I still write when I can find the time. And with the money going to the
church for some new song books, I couldn’t say no.” She paused and smiled. “I’d
like to dedicate my first number to the Jones sisters.” She waved like a beauty
pageant queen towards them and looked them in the eyes as she launched into…
My Man Likes Ladies Not
Trash Like You
Honey, your doin’ you’re
very best to get your hooks into my man.
But on his left hand,
there’s a golden band that says
His single days are
through.
So girl, if you know
what’s good for ya…
You’d better just scoot or
you’ll be feelin’ the heel of my boot.
‘Cause my man likes ladies
not trash like you.
So if you don’t want a big
fat shiner, then you’d better make
yourself some brand new plans and keep your
hands off my man.
Tell me you little two bit
hussy, do you understand?
Believe me when it comes
to lovin’ that hunk
of mine ain’t missin’
nothin’.
So if you wanna leave here
in one piece,
you’d better just leave
that man be.
Doesn’t she sound just like Loretta Lynn… Candy finished out
the rest of her songs as Bo stood by her side with his arms around her and
tears in his eyes while the Jones girls
tried to live down the laughter that surrounded them after their faces turned
beat red from backing into the table with the cake on it.
And you know how those lovers are on Valentine’s day, Enos
bein’ a gentleman left Daisy off at the farm after a good night kiss at the
door. After
puttin’ little Honeybee to bed, Bo and Candy, well you know. Betty was still tryin’ to get the cake out
of her hair while Luke tried romancin’ her.
So you never know what’s gonna happen in Hazzard County.
